Pros

- Great product. - Good Pay

Cons

The culture is toxic. Micromanagement at various level. Managers expects you to work 24/7 and sometimes even on weekends. Work life balance is very very poor. HR is a joke here, even if you give feedback, never seen any action taken on it or any meeting scheduled to understand whats going wrong. 1:1 is also a joke here too, managers never want to understand your future growth and how you are doing in the company professionally and personally. It's all filled with blame games and what you didn't do because you were sick. They did grew 700x in revenue which allowed them to hire resources rapidly but never cared about the current employees and their well being. A lot of stress in work. Also quality work is missing sometimes, they want to enhance technical stack but then loose their focus on fixing current environment. So if you are joining this company beware of these risk, read all the comments and decide if money is important to you or your peace of mind, family and your professional growth in future.

Pros

There aren't any benefits to working here. You'd just be wasting your time.

Cons

Tonal lacks direction and structure. Communication is terrible, roles are vague and often overlap, expectations are unclear, management has no idea what it's doing, leadership has no long-term plan set in place, and every decision they make is driven by ego and profit.
