Pros

The HR team is stellar. The work/life balance is great, there's unlimited PTO, and the company culture is friendly and flexible. 100% remote work, and lots of flexibility for how you approach problems.

Cons

It doesn't feel like work is prioritized well. It feels like there's a tendency to over-engineer or over-solve for problems that users won't really care about. The product vision has felt confused over the last 6 months. If you are someone who gets heavily invested in the products you work on, then it may be a frustrating experience. There has also been 2 rounds of layoffs in the last 2 years.

Pros

Nothing. Worst company ever. You may get some swag.

Cons

They will lay you off at the blink of an eye. Do not trust these people.

Pros

Good product, nice culture, and friendly hard working people. Great place to work but for the gross financial mismanagement that resulted in a lay off of 30% of the workforce in January 2024. It's a shame that so many people lost their jobs either due to the CFO and cofounders incompetence, or questionable morals. Not sure the company will survive unless they magically get more funding.

Cons

Not a stable place whatsoever. Layoffs of varying scales seem to be the norm.
