Pros

Some colleagues are genuinely passionate and hardworking. Fully remote work flexibility.

Cons

Lack of Clear Communication: Expectations around scheduling, availability, and work hours were changed after onboarding, with little regard for prior agreements.Poor Work-Life Balance: Employees are expected to be available beyond scheduled hours without proper structure or support.Dismissive HR Practices: Concerns about policies and work expectations were met with resistance rather than productive dialogue.Abrupt Decision-Making: My experience showed that employment decisions can be sudden, with little to no prior discussion or feedback.

Pros

lots of room for autonomy, working on world's hardest problems, great culture, great people, great benefits.

Cons

always room for improvement in scheduling all hands meetings- (hard with so many people in the company), doing a LOT of things at once (generally good thing, comes with challenges)
