Don't work here

Pros

Work is somewhat interesting and unique. Subsidized lunches. Week long company holiday from Christmas to New Years.

Cons

Underpaid for my experience level. Performance reviews are based on how much you're liked by your manager. Overworked and understaffed. Most of management/leadership seem to be here as a resumé booster and will likely leave as soon as they can, they're not doing much for the company. Unlimited PTO is the biggest scam here, work life balance is non existence. Stock options are worthless. New company direction will likely not pan out. Especially if you're early in your career (0-5 years) don't work here, go somewhere else where you'll get better mentorship.

Disorganized company with no leadership or direction

Pros

Really exciting technology with huge potential to help the world (in theory).

Cons

The board is guided by short-term monetary return rather than long-term change for the betterment of humanity (and arguably greater monetary return if successful). Everything was shrouded in secrecy, and the turnover was unbelievable. Saw 1-2 new people leaving every week until eventually the CEO left as well, and a max exodus followed. The company then laid off 111 employees as it continued to self-implode. Stay away!

Disorganized chaos

Pros

There were some very smart, very driven employees. There were some good benefits as well but I hear some may have changed.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch with actual engineering. Most engineers don’t trust upper management due to a number of layoffs and direction changes. Morale is pretty low nowadays. There is very little trust overall.
