Pros

Fast paced startup environment with lots of learning opportunities. Great esops back in 2021.

Cons

As the org is moving towards an IPO, they are getting aggressive with each passing day. They are evaluating employees performance every <6 months and firing guys accordingly. They dont provide esops now, only limited RSUs.
