Pros

Unlimited PTO and cool company logo

Cons

Poor Leadership which has led to poor work culture. It appears great, but it’s a facade when you look behind the curtain. Constant hiring and firing (layoffs) due to irresponsible planning and no follow-through on direction or plans. Changing priorities would be one thing, but pivoting the direction of the company multiple times leading to frequent layoffs is another.

Pros

Great group of people to work with in engineering, great codebase to work in

Cons

Lots of product churn. There were a number of times where we would work very hard on a feature for multiple months where it would never leave a pilot phase if it ever even saw the light of day. Very disheartening to work on features like that. Also many many rounds of layoffs, in addition to lots of isolated layoffs for people who were still performing well in their role.
