Pros

Good benefits, remote working, on paper tc

Cons

It’s really a chaotic place for engineers, product managers run the show by providing little to no product knowledge and whole company is dependent on quid pro quo technique. No one knows how they will fight the high interest period, too risky to join. Overall tech stack is poor, and barely you can put anything suitable on your resume, I am still trying to find anything good which I can state on my resume. Tc on paper might be good but with stock slump I lost 90% of my equity, bonus is also uncertain in current market.
