Pros
Everyone from managers down are some of the kindest people I've worked with. I genuinely loved working with them all. The company also increased pay after raising series B
Cons
- Health insurance plans provide poor coverage - Two rounds of layoffs, the second after a NYC company offsite in which no expenses were spared - Persisted with company offsite despite increase in covid cases and no more mask mandate, resulting in more than a quarter of attendees getting covid - Refused to acknowledge covid cases that weren't diagnosed the week of the offsite - No career progression in engineering. Whatever level you get hired at is almost certainly the level you're going to be at for the rest of your time there - Created a new engineering level (and salary level) for CEO and head of engineering's friend who they hired - Codebase is a mess of prematurely made abstractions that still aren't useful and will likely never be - Engineering teams aren't allowed ownership of product areas. All decisions are nitpicked and micromanaged by leadership - Head of product dismisses and mocks user feedback of application
