Pros

Avoid at all costs, totally toxic

Cons

- 10 days PTO - Everyone is working 996 - No diversity at all - Company is horribly toxic. All the 5 star reviews here are fabricated. HR *highly suggests* you review it after you have accepted an offer, so most of the reviews you are reading are after the first day of employment. - The amount of money you spend on therapy and the stress that this job will add will not make up for whatever salary they throw at you. - They will throw a mediocre base salary and a high RSU at you, BUT, please be warned that the stock will not go up, and there is a good chance they will fire you before your 1 year vest--so take that out of the equation completely. - ESPP has a 60 day lock period. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. - The now *former* CEO made about $20 million in stock sales, got fired, and the company played it off like it was an "expected transition", which is hilarious - The CTO is incredibly toxic and his management style flows down to all the managers, which will flow down to you. My suggestion is -- avoid this company at all costs. So many red flags.
