Vantaggi

The catered lunch once a week, pets ok at the office, snacks on Fridays. That's about it.

Svantaggi

This should be a warning to prospective employers and to any bank or VC firm interested in investing in this company. Upper management are all woefully inadequate and under qualified to be in the position that they're in. The founders have had ZERO prior management experience and it painfully shows in their lack of leadership skills. Our engineering department head, the CTO, has zero experience leading engineering and Google search his way to trying to model the org based on other companies without understanding anything about engineering structures, limitations, or the differences in businesses that he tries to compare us to. He's completely clueless. The new CEO, if you do your research and look him up on Linkedin, you'll see he also has never been a C-level before nor run a business. The other review that points out the nitpicking is so true and it comes from the top. The CEO is obsessed about how our desks look rather than figuring out how to save this miserable sinking ship. He should really never step foot in a tech organization. I seriously doubt the validity of his work history given the lack of fundamental tech skills he has. You feel sorry for the rest of the C-level execs, especially the new hires. It'll be a full time babysitting job to please the CEO's odd requests. For the rest of us, we're just here to pretend to work hard while we look for other jobs.

No cons. The company encourages transparency and is quick to find solutions or remove blockers that may come up.

Vantaggi

The best part is the people (everyone is nice and very capable at their job). Lots of autonomy (opportunity to own your deliverables end to end), and a modern tech stack.

Svantaggi

Biggest issue is job security (regular layoffs and sudden firings). No 401k matching, growth is limited by small teams, and there's a lack of strategic direction from leadership.
