Pros

Great ideas are present by this company. It strives to stay young by hiring many young and many good engineers. CEO is brilliant.

Cons

Young engineers often run on their own and ignore lessons learned and solved by the more experienced team members. By the time product delivery is done many avoidable problems arise out of nowhere, which often delay product delivery by months and months.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
