Pros

Fast-moving environment and aggressive product ambition.

Cons

- Speed was worshiped while structure was ignored. - Features were rushed out while documentation became an afterthought. - Internal coordination regularly broke down. - Requirements shifted mid-development without warning. - Quality checks were squeezed to the breaking point. - Teams were forced into constant reaction mode instead of building sustainably, - Endless rework became the norm. - Timelines stayed unpredictable and unreliable. - Innovation was praised while a disciplined process was absent. - Scaling became painful, exhausting, and inefficient. - The relentless pace led to burnout instead of real progress.

Pros

I see a lot of 1 star reviews, I think it's really not that bad if you know what you're getting into: -Lots of smart, hardworking people -AI product with good business model, steady revenue -Decent pay and benefits, bonuses on top for good performance

Cons

-Long hours, fast and chaotic iteration. Unsurprisingly for a startup the business needs to take a lot of shots to see what sticks, quality isn't always top of mind -Lack of transparency, a lot of employees don't have visibility into things like how compensation changes work, that there is a bonus structure etc -Business generally feels pretty top down, good for moving fast and being decisive, but can leave employees to feeling unheard
