Pros

-Good salary -Snacks (mostly bagels) and some catered lunches -Friendly, hard working staff -Adjacent to a hip neighbourhood

Cons

-Relying on the fluffy perks to keep employees around rather than focusing on what actually makes them happy. -Lack of honesty in the interview pertaining to hours, training and vacation & holidays -No stability in terms of position, work station or hours -Very driven on employee numbers making them feels like lab rats with immediate results expected -Haywire and remote management meaning no problems can be dealt with in person, all issues must be relayed through many people with no real resolution -Extremely long and unnecessary recruitment process considering how quickly employees can be scrapped -Hard workers are exploited for all that they've got -This is not the start-up for you if you're looking to move up and get a real career within the company, do not fall for the start-up hype, you don't even meet the higher ups

Pros

pay, remote, some good/smart people in pockets

Cons

Senior leaders could not care less about employees and routinely make bad market decisions leading to foreseeable product issues and eventual layoff cycles. There was a time a few years back where employees criticized the dark patterns in the app - the president got pissed and said 'the data didn't show it was an issue', then a few months later when we got bad press about those patterns dismissed it as our competitors planting stories - sums up the culture pretty clearly.
