Pros

…they provide a paycheck twice a month? For now?

Cons

Damn, where to begin? CEO is a terrible leader. All the other reviews pointing out his shortcomings aren’t exaggerating. He’s a solid 0. Company took a bridge loan recently because they couldn’t raise at a preferred value. It’s going downhill so fast that it’s embarrassing for it to be on my resume at this stage.

Pros

- Product and industry are worth being motivated for - Vote of confidence by leading investors - Inclusive and welcoming team dynamic - Humorous and intelligent co-workers that are excited to get to know you - Co-workers are from all over the U.S. and abroad. There is an opportunity to feel like you're getting some diversity in culture despite OC being quite the opposite - Capable leadership that want to iterate and get it right quickly - Management team cares about their employees and consider suggestions seriously - The company cares deeply about privacy and data ethics; it practices what it preaches - Pay is competitive

Cons

- Office location is quite difficult for people who do not enjoy the surf/hike/ski lifestyle - Could do with a bigger HR team so that operational staff are not overstretched - Some difficulty getting HR questions answered like correcting insurance numbers or getting 401Ks set up - Inconsistent messaging around WFH policies, it largely depends on your manager - Unlimited PTO is a little tricky to manage, especially when there is always work to be done. You don't want to be the person taking off when others don't.

Pros

This is a great company to work for. Everyone is super smart and really nice...the definition of "good people". Upper management is attentive, invested, and responsive. Startup perks, competitive salary, and the chance to contribute in a real way. There's a lot of freedom, so things get done.

Cons

A lot of startup growing pains.
