Pros

Fast paced environment with an emphasis on a winning mindset. Will push your limits. You will meet many hard-working and driven individuals. $1 health insurance premium. High paying roles are achievable for those who fit the mold, succeed, and stick it out. Product has real potential and unique competitive advantages in the industry.

Cons

Corporate culture - you are always replaceable. Unrealistic and inefficient demands from executives are common. Work life balance for many isn't common. Constantly hiring/firing upper leadership makes it difficult to make progress on initiatives. Investing heavily in AI and cutting many roles.

We function in a high-performance environment where a winning mindset and hard work are central to how we succeed. Those expectations are intentional, and while the work can be demanding, they create meaningful opportunities for those who consistently deliver results. Please connect with your leader to discuss your feedback further.

Pros

Very good work environment, particularly in 2024 when I started. Free drinks, soda, seltzer etc. 4 dollar lunches on site. Amenities, particularly a gym with a basketball court and fitness lessons and activities.

Cons

Policies (for developers) were in constant flux starting about a year after I joined. Testing and code merging changed multiple times in the span of a year. Hybrid working options eventually removed.
