horrible startup that just keeps getting worse

Pros

Free lunch and dog friendly. Unlimited PTO for salaried employees, 15 days for hourly employees. New location at The ROW looks fun and has a cool startup feel.

Cons

This used to be a great organization that really felt like it was going somewhere. After removing 2 CEO's and having a major layoff, this company is going nowhere but downhill. The current leadership is looking to remove everything that was what made working here so good: the culture. As if changing the whole focus/product plan wasn't already enough. Long hours. They promise you lots of learning and experiences, but they won't pay you even if your entire team leaves and you're doing the job of 10 people. Favoritism is definitely rampant. That and a toxic culture where senior leaders are not afraid to yell at new or younger employees. Never have I worked in such an unprofessional organization. It's funny because they have new policies such as "no alcohol" to keep the organization professional, but they won't remove leaders who scream at others and ignore company policy.

Not an ethical company

Pros

Yeah yeah yeah the concept is cool and you get to work on “hyperloop”

Cons

Leadership has no idea what they are doing, the change of the ceo caused a series of VP quittings and that’s when everyone started to fight for those empty positions, and those who are more “dear” to the new ceo became the new leaders, a domino of people and engineers leaving after that and still ongoing. The company has a very low morale and ethics and has no respect for employees. Diversity is very low. There is huge amount of bureaucracy going on and people in the advertising teams get more recognition than engineers. Politics to the roof. They hired many people for LA campus and relocated them to Nevada after a few months. Unhappy employees in every team. Money wasted on unnecessary stuff. No career growth. Bad culture, no opportunity to learn. Organizational changes happening every quarter. Lots of overlapping hence fighting managers. They keep hiring more and more because people are leaving more and more.

CEO more interested in gimmicks than tech

Pros

Clusters of talented engineers, cool concept, opportunity to learn a lot fast, ability to work remotely (going away in September)

Cons

Egoistic, pompous, ignorant CEO - more interested in marketing and branding than maturing technology. The last few months have been a series of weekly departure emails from senior VPs, directors, senior managers, and many talented engineers. People are jumping ship, many groups are understaffed by 50-80%, yet leadership expects more output from burnt out engineers on terrible pay. The turnover rate is crazy! Big old boys club, very few women and people of color. Homophobic company, no statement for Pride month despite pleas from several employees. The entire Pegasus project was a marketing stunt intended to blow smoke up investors bums, waste of money, effort and time. Total lack of vision and accountability from CEO. Downward spiral, only people left are fresh out of college kids, immigrants tied to visas and contractors.
