Pros

- Smart, kind, highly-motivated people - High levels of personal autonomy and ownership - Interesting and pioneering product - Just completed a $25m funding round

Cons

- It's easy to overwork yourself if you're not careful - If you need strict structure in the office, this is not the place - Company is still finding its place in an uncertain market - No 401k match, but solid pay makes up for it

GET OUT. NOW.

Pros

- spent a lot of money (irresponsibly) to keep people happy (snacks, lunches, swag, events, lots of equipment)

Cons

I don't know why they are still hiring and have open positions because they don't have the money to maintain existing staff (already cutting office perks and 401k match). If you are considering a job here don't do it. It's extremely stressful and volatile without the benefit of future potential success or rewarding work. As many people have already mentioned, priorities shift constantly so nothing you work on matters. You can not do your assigned task because the next day it will be forgotten and no one will follow up. Toxic culture, zero direction, bad product, unhappy customers, failed to raise money, sold off an acquired company after 18 months due to inability to maintain it, massive layoff (but didn't get rid of the right people), actually talented individuals voluntarily leave at an alarming rate

Pros

Was a good place to work and had some sort of vision for a brief less-than-a-year period in 2018. Spent lots of money on everything.. this includes purchasing of good snacks for the office and also buying other companies, like a whole crypto exchange.

Cons

Spent money too fast. Bonuses and 401k match = gone. And so were many other great people in the company, some by choice and others not so much. Management is confused with vision. Decisions were often made too slow and the company pivoted ways too many times. The leaders were ambitious on every aspect of the industry, and couldn't decide on a few to focus on. Most importantly, very toxic culture. They focus on transparency, but it was never actually transparent. The "OG's" enjoyed playing politics and got the vertical movement for the years spent there, not to mention the abundance of office romance that trumps over logical decision making.

Pros

fast paced environment with lots of opportunities to learn, grow and make an impact. Smart people and great pay and perks - 401k match, fully remote work, self managed time off. Lots of emphasis on values-based culture which is great.

Cons

Lots of change and demanding work due to the type of industry and hyper-growth phase.
