Great company with opportunities for growth

Pros

- since it is a small startup and in it's growth stage, you really get to have an impact in the company and potential to grow in your career - the company really values their employees - people don't micro-manage here at all, it's really what you make of your position. If you work hard, you will reap the benefits.

Cons

- the onboarding process can be a bit overwhelming and disorganized at first - everything is very fast paced and sometimes not so organized since processes are still being defined.

A Total Mess - Don't Work There

Pros

- They pay well. - They're based out of the Times Square WeWork which has a great rooftop deck and a beer tap on every floor. - The technology is great and always improving.

Cons

- Management is extremely rude - Their expectations are completely unrealistic - No work/life balance whatsoever; place is like a sweat shop. They blame this on being a startup. - They often hire people for one thing and then tell you they need you to do something completely different once you start. - They have no appreciation whatsoever for dedication and hard work. - They have people running departments that have no business doing what they're doing. - Management micromanages you - Communication is a mess so they'll contact you at all hours regardless of your time zone on a million different apps until you answer. - There is no transparency and no job security at all. They'll tell you that you're doing a good job and then a few days later, you might very well be fired. - HR is based in Israel and has no idea what's really going on in the New York office.

Avoid at all costs

Pros

A few people who are dedicated to the company’s mission

Cons

Dysfunctional, chaotic and utterly abusive company with a delusional CEO. Leadership (mostly white men) promotes a “hustle” culture where people are visibly burned out and the turnover rate is insane. Good luck trying to create healthy boundaries, work life balance is not a thing here. The product itself is not innovative but you’ll be told over and over told it’s in the same ranks as twitter and that you’re “saving the web.” Save yourself and your mental health by not working here.
