Pros

Good product focused on Open Source Mostly smart people (IQ only) Well funded Pay and benefits are decent (not amazing)

Cons

Entire business is run on Slack No commitment to core values Make no mistake - they couldn't care less about your mental health as an employee! One person had multiple deaths in their family and got fired w/in months!!! Inexperienced, incompetent middle managers who think intimidation and shaming are acceptable practices. Encourages a culture of back stabbing and tattling

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
