Pros

Communication internally is fantastic, as this is a remote first organisation, they have ensured the right channels are available to allow transparency, a direct but kind approach and a lot of collaboration. Brilliant products to work on Knowledge sharing Diversity Leading/ Mentoring Management style Flexible approach I can go on here the whole day...

Cons

If you are a non engineer, you'll need to get Tech savvy and fast :-)

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
