Vantaggi

Great employee focused culture, great benefits - you wont miss any even if you are coming in from a big listed company. Folks are very helpful across all the organizations.

Svantaggi

At times, the open culture and freedom is abused by the employees by criticizing small minor aspects of policies set by the org.

Thanks for the very positive feedback. We are working hard to maintain our culture even as we scale. We like to think we offer great benefits, and you are correct that while empowering our employees also comes the risk of some abuse. But we think the tradeoff is worth it and we will always default to trust. Please continue to let us know how we are balancing our approach and share when there are opportunities for us to do even better.

Vantaggi

- lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

Svantaggi

- tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
