Pros

There are some great people there. I was paired with a great mentor.

Cons

They went public in August and laid off people two months later. That should tell you all you need to know about the snakes who run this company. They spend money like drunken sailors and when it’s time to pay their employees they pull the plug. They have a pattern of wildly spending money on parties and acquisitions while at the same time laying people off. The CEO and his co founder think they’re smarter than everyone else. What they don’t see coming is the eventual collapse of a company they’ve mistreated and abused for years as they soak up all the money at the top and leave the innocent bystanders behind. Just a bunch of greedy execs at the top who are more obsessed with talking about how they started their company rather than take care of their employees. You can’t run a company like this for long until it finally collapses. And I’ll be right there with the popcorn when it happens. Their middle management is terrible too.

Pros

There are still many talented and hardworking employees there.

Cons

Constant restructuring, layoffs, and uncertainty. Pride themselves on objective unbiased reporting, yet now they want to enter into prediction markets. 25% layoff right before Q1 ended. Leadership executed a reverse stock split that heavily eroded shareholder value, only for the stock to continue falling and the company to be delisted from the NYSE shortly thereafter.
