      Pros

      People are truly stellar. I knew that the team is good from my interview experience but did not anticipate that the quality of folks will be this good. Good combination of build vs buy/borrow. Strong engineering mindset from design to delivery. Management has been very balanced so far spanning career growth as well as learning. Strong learning focus than anywhere I have seen. I feel that I'm both growing as an engineer here as well as growing in impact and recognition.

      Cons

      401K program is better than my previous startups but some matching would be good.

      Think twice before you accept a job here

      Pros

      Some people are nice. Decent work/life balance for start up. Flexible hours. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      - No diversity: ethnic as well as gender diversity is lacking. - You will be told that you will do 'world-class' work here, but in reality you will do very mediocre work on regular basis. - Upper management is very inexperienced. - Unclean office space... it actually reeks of sweaty people, food and smelly feet, many times toilets are un-flushed. - All the C level executives are micromanagers. - CEO is borderline sexist, bully and micromanager who has unrealistic expectations from his direct reports. He says he wants honest feedback but somehow people who give honest (constructive) feedback find themselves not working there soon enough. As a result, the CEO has collected bunch of old-school, corporate yes-men around himself and wants to hear only what he loves to hear. - Lack of planning and continuous shifting priorities - Big talk, big promises but no delivery: for clients as well as employees - Very low standards on all fronts - No career growth path - Non-existent HR - BRO culture

      Hello-- I appreciate your feedback and I hope you have shared it directly with your manager. You can also reach out directly to me-- while our HR team is small, we work really hard to make ourselves available to all employees. Your review brings up a number of issues and this isn't the forum to thoroughly respond to them. I would like to point out though that we are working very hard on the diversity issue, both to support our underrepresented team members and also to recruit more minority candidates to join our team. We also put a lot of effort into parting with our employees respectfully and with care, and I encourage you again to reach out to me if your experience doesn't align with that value, as I take it very seriously.

      Pros

      Some of the smartest engineers in the valley at this company. Many have backgrounds at the larger name brand companies, Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc. Almost of the C suite people are already extremely well accomplished; you can check the company website to see their bios. This gave me a lot of confidence in the company when I joined and that confidence has only grown since I've been here. This company is going all the way to IPO, I can feel the energy and am on the ground level witnessing all of the incredible stuff we are building. Very excited for the future of this company. Perks are quite good- free lunch and dinner and a bunch of great snacks.

      Cons

      Diversity is a big pain point- the majority of the engineering team is Indian male. Considering I fall into this category, it doesn't affect me as much but I can see how it would be slightly off for people with different backgrounds. However, I don't envision that people would treat others with different backgrounds differently. People at the company have been very accepting and nice.

      Thanks for your feedback. We are tackling diversity and inclusion on a few different fronts-- both in recruiting and in supporting our underrepresented minority team members who already part of our community. Hope you will help us in these efforts!
