Pros

- remote - competitive pay

Cons

- Horrible remote functioning - Micromanagement - CEO changes plans as per his whim. He changes things every time he talks to other founders - Managers don't care about you. They're stressed to achieve unrealistic goals and make you work to the bone - Bad performance reviews - Fake promises of bonuses/stocks/raises to keep you long - Will ask you to work weekends but dont let you take comp off. - most employees are unhappy. except if you're in your manager's good graces

Pros

Very ambitious team that struggled with their education business but were able to build something amazing. I contributed to both education & their new AI product after the pivot. Very high standards & hard working team. People push each other & lots of learning opportunities. They're sticking to remote which is great. They've become a lot more organized & have clarity now.

Cons

They struggled with pmf for a long time. It was very operationally hectic, didn't enjoy my time in 2023. I think they can do better with better remote work best practices but I would recommend to expect a bit of healthy chaos if you join a startup.

Pros

- People are great - Pay was good, no negotiation - Good vision - Remote flexibility - Good growth opportunities

Cons

I have worked at successful startups before and before PMF it is hard. If you don't want to have that experience, you will not enjoy. People are ambitious and they work hard but it can be stressful at times.
