Pros
The product is good and many people who work here are hard-working, kind-hearted, and excited about what they’re building.
Cons
Some of management are completely inappropriate and openly value nepotism above meritocracy, which is honestly a shame. Since being there, there's been a weird environment where individuals who work hard and produce strong outcomes are, increasingly, not rewarded or recognised, but those who are good at empty talk (whilst producing minimal to no outcomes at all) are heralded due to their connections. It’s not a fair environment, and doesn’t even try to be, and this is genuinely sad to see. The team like to say they move too fast to recognise those who do work hard, but the reality is that some individuals use this as an excuse to be belittling, directionless, and often passive aggressive to those below them. I learnt quickly that little value is placed on genuine teamwork. Selfish work is praised, but the invisible labour that goes into real company initiatives and developments is discounted. This is also a problem when it comes to retaining top-level talent. A huge emphasis is placed on acquiring this talent in the first place, yet no effort is made to incentivise these individuals staying. If you’re smart and looking for a short stint then maybe you can stomach it. However, if you genuinely care about the company’s mission, values, culture, and teamwork, don’t be surprised if you’re quickly treated poorly.
