High pay for some but not others. The pay gap is wide at specific levels. Interesting tech stack.

Pros

High pay for some but not others. The pay gap is wide at specific levels. Interesting tech stack.

Cons

Really low pay for others, one strike and you're out policy, horrible people managers who scream and fail to mentor, very wide pay bands for engineers. Long hours on some teams. Former manager on exchange was one of the worst people I've ever worked with. Even worse, HR during the firings would tell managers to find reasons to lay off or fire employees to reduce headcount during layoffs. If managers didn't like a new hire, they would do the same... find reasons to fire someone even if they were minor or didn't exist. True dystopia.

Pros

Benefits are good. Compensation is great. NY Office has great perks (when it's available) Great company parties/outings Company-driven cultural growth has been a core focus. Transparency is more accessible than ever. Very few genuinely bad apples/actors. Everyone wants to help. Always moving forward even when things don't go as expected. WFH, Unlimited PTO

Cons

Teams shoot themselves in the foot every so often (everyone does. it's growing pains) A lot of good technical managers, not so great people managers. Each team has a startup feel. (This is a con if you think it is) Tons of small quirks which makes you raise an eyebrow (none individually would make you want to leave) Work/life balance depends on the team you're on and your work ethos. When it sucks, boy does it suck. Can be a rough experience if you're reliant on always having decisions weighed and made for you.

High burn rate with no plan to profitability

Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues who were talented and supportive

Cons

The company has little control over spending and hiring while having no clear path to profitability. This, coupled with the "crypto winter", had led to layoffs that were really bad for morale.
