Putting this just because my CTO asked for honest review - Regret joining from day 1 - just waiting for good offer

Pros

Was good at initial days, good perks, now all talented people have left. Either they were not rightly managed or layed off. They might give you a good hike - don't fall for that. They'll offer shares - don't even consider that - company economics might look good on paper but is all flawed. Company will never be able to go IPO with current leadership - even founders know this.

Cons

Let me start with CTO, who asked us to post a review - 0 technical knowledge, all he cares about is end goal, if I was suppose to hire him, would not even keep him as a PM, and Ethos has made him CTO. All talented people left/thrown due to politics. All good leaders have already left. Few are left, I feel sad for them. Waste people in management have been hired. ---> Just one recommendation to anyone joining, ping someone on Linkedin and ask for a feedback - irrespective of ex-employees or current employees.
