Pros

They really do respect the unlimited PTO policy Worklife Competent peers Work with new tech

Cons

Poor leadership They do layoffs every 90 days for a fraction of staff I assume to avoid legal action and severance payout It's a sinking ship from poor management decisions on what is otherwise a brilliant idea Upper management takes no accountability for their decisions Pay

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.
