Pros

Cute office, some of the people are really nice, interesting problem space.

Cons

This place is a grind. Leadership are all from Spain and have no idea on how to scale the company. Strike price for equity is so expensive it’s not even worth joining anymore. Benefits are horrible, attrition is really really high, it’s a sweatshop. I would definitely not recommend working here at all unless you’re willing to work non stop, weekends too, and are ok with the worst benefits. Also location of office is in the worst possible place in SF. They’re very disorganized and talk behind your back a lot here.

Pros

The founders are extremely bright and have built an interesting product in a market with real opportunity. There are talented people on the team, and the company has the potential to solve meaningful problems for customers.

Cons

The biggest challenges are work-life balance, lack of focus, and inconsistent leadership direction. While the founders are intelligent and ambitious, they lack the industry experience and leadership maturity needed to consistently guide the organization, support employees, and stay focused on the highest-priority opportunities. There often seemed to be a tendency to move on to the next “shiny thing” before fully executing on the current strategy. That lack of patience and focus created confusion, made priorities difficult to follow, and impacted the overall employee experience. Work-life balance was also a concern. Expectations were high, but the structure, communication, and leadership support needed to make those expectations sustainable were not always there.

Pros

The founders are amazing. Brilliant people, but also genuinely good humans, which is rarer than it should be. You learn so much just being in the room with them (or in the All-Hands even). The talent here is unreal. Top 1%, no exaggeration. Everyone is sharp and motivated and actually kind, and that combo is hard to find. It's growing FAST. YC-backed, real customers, real momentum, you can feel that you're building something that matters and not just shuffling slides around. And the mission is genuinely cool, AI at the frontier of an industry nobody pays attention to but everyone depends on. Real problems, real impact. If you want to grow fast and learn from the best, you'll thrive here.

Cons

It's a fast-paced company, but on a 'next level'. They're building something big and work overflows to afternoons and Sundays; it's part of the game.
