Vantaggi

* Large problems to solve * Work Remotely * Peers care about the work * Chaos leads to advancement * If the company survives, great upside potential on RSUs * Camaraderie on eng teams * Slack environment, very little email * Monolith if you enjoy digging into every aspect of the app

Svantaggi

* HR largely disorganized and tone deaf (examples can be seen in responses to these reviews to contact HR although saying HR cannot be trusted) * Vast attrition, explained away as "every company is having attrition" * No formal review process, changes each cycle, promotions not explained * Executives are leaving in droves * Culture has shifted, expect an insurance company not a a technology company * Lack of transparency while being told the company is transparent, promised compensation bands for years with no action * Managers are expected to be ICs as well * Don't expect support from HR (People Team) as they are focused on themselves and have drastic turnover * Take HR reviews on here as a grain of salt from new employees trying to boost ratings * Focused on cost cutting to stay alive * Constantly shifting priorities, lots of wasted effort * Compensation approach is to appease the attrition versus a true holistic approach to keeping employees happy * No engineering leadership - 2 CTOs lost in a year, 3 VPs not backfilled. If senior leadership isn't staying, why should everyone else? * A startup who became an enterprise too quickly
