Pros

- International and diverse colleagues except for upper management. - The product is good enough and the competition are terrible.

Cons

There’s a reason for all the terrible reviews and scores. The. company burn through people and cause burnouts at an alarming rate. There’s lots of promises but in reality, they do everything to keep the salaries and stock options below minimum. Read your contract very very carefully as you probably won’t get most of the benefits they promised. You may get lucky with a stable team, clear product vision, or a decent manager but don’t count on it. The epidemic only accelerated their demise. Product are pressured to give guestimatsions that engineers have to execute or get bad reviews. There’s no product or engineering culture. It’s all sales driven.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
