Pros

Many of the people are great to work with and the platform is valuable.

Cons

- The leadership has serious problems and toxicity. Employees are routinely let go or fired without explanation. - The management gives inconsistent feedback and expectations. - There is a serious issue of people going behind each other’s backs to give negative feedback. - People are told they are performing well and then let go, and management gives dishonest feedback with unclear leadership. - Mass layoffs happened in 2025 with abysmal severance packages, despite the company of exceeding all revenue goals.
