Pros

1. High Hiring standard, the exceptional engineering team 2. Great focus on building a good culture 3. Exciting roadmap 4. Good Product Market Fit Management is highly invested in their employees. As an example, through the COVID 19 pandemic, they have constantly encouraged employees to take time off to help alleviate the stress some are enduring from having to manage WFH and their families.

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

1. Competitive Salary 2. Opportunity for On site collaboration with Team in SF. 3. Working on the best of tech.

Cons

1. Clear favouritism and differentiation in the usefulness of the ideas, depending upon who gives it, instead of the impact it has. 2. Poor Planning, many of things are re-written / churned, just because the initial draft was for demo / MVP. 3. Chant the buzzwords "transparency", "open to ideas", "take time off" so much that it almost sounds true to everyone. 4. Trying to cover the problem, and keep the facade intact, instead of solving the root problem. (You'll see 10 positive reviews, after every negative one. Ever wonder why ?) 5. Too many layers, too many stakeholders. 6. Justifying every damn thing in the name of startup. No, working long hours, weekends, just because we are trying to ship features, is not worth boasting. that's what leads to crap code and employee churn.

Pros

Good Product and Vision (read cons for but...) and nothing else.

Cons

- Everyone here seems to be just focused on appeasing the upper management, no matter what the cost. - Some senior engineerings are not open to ideas from others. It's either their way or the highway. - Management are biased towards some folks and follow their word without even thinking about pros and cons. - They promote transparency for just namesake. - New Employees are asked to give a 5 star rating on Glassdoor just like an Uber driver asks for 5 star rating after the trip
