Pros

This is a great company if you want college fraternity and sorority culture and professionalism thrown out the window. I would invest in this company because it is a great concept, I regret choosing them as my employer.

Cons

HR barely does their job - located in a different state! hard to get a hold of, they do nothing with what you report. Management is terrible. They are overpaid and underpay their employees. There is no support from management. Too many HR violations going on and there is no accountability. Managers can do whatever they want. Although you expect structure to be different in a start up - there is no structure and big changes are abrupt with no thought to employees, like changes in massive procedure changes/job description changes, commission reductions, PTO wipe outs...too many to count. They try and fluff up the perks they offer like free food and free gym membership to cover up all the managerial failures they continue to do. If you are a manager and overpaid and you love it. Otherwise you don't matter to them. There is no room to grow professionally. Work life balance purely depends on what team you are on. Mine was extremely lacking. I regret choosing them as my employer over the other options I had.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
