Pros

It is a job you can go to.

Cons

Micromanages beyond what I have ever experienced at a company. Has trainings that make absolutely no sense. For example, they will randomly put on your calendar that you have a training in 3 days, then care less if it cuts into your breaks. The trainings are usually them giving a lecture and later may or may not post a PowerPoint for you to look at about the meeting. That is what they call a training. Unrealistic goals and expectations for the department that management can't even meet. They change the rules on you so much, and threaten to fire you if you don't abide by them. Constantly has random meetings, they call for everyone to meet up on Zoom and demands you be on camera, 3-5 min notices. Also, will fire you without any warning if you do not do what they want, even if it is not in your job description. Uses “we are a start-up!” as an excuse to have terrible business practices, and unrealistic expectations of employees. They will use that a lot as a scapegoat, so be prepared. Please don't waste your time with this company, it will save you so much trauma and stress. Also, please keep record of all your communications with them, they like to have convenient “amnesia” about agreements that you may have had with them. Only communicate by email. Changes the rules up every other day and expects you to abide by them or else. They love to have convenient amnesia about things they have asked of employees or conversations that may have happened and or agreements. The loves to play the “We are a start-up!” card as a reason to be unfair and increase workload.

Pros

The job itself is amazing. The pay is great and there is less emphasis on phone calls and more on email and chat communication.

Cons

They like to boast about wanting strong personalities and diverse people but really only want people that will coddle each other. I was fired after having spoken up to leadership about professionalism. I was told that things were “slow” and I wasn’t a good fit for their culture. It’s a startup so slowness can be expected and I have more experience in the job than a few others. It was a real cop out and they didn’t even stop to coach or better yet hear my side of what was going on.

A Chaotic Mess

Pros

- friendly coworkers - decent pay

Cons

It's an organizational nightmare. Engineering teams are constantly changing, disappearing, being renamed, repurposed, restructured. It's a miracle anything got done while I was there. All the engineering managers were fired, then the CTO was fired, then layoffs thoughout, then a temporary CTO was brought on, then he was fired too, then more layoffs, then a month later they're trying to hire again for the roles they laid off. I would stay away from this one unless you just need a salary for a few months while you find something better.
