Pros

A fantastic company to work for, full of kind, respectful and genuine people all of whom are always happy to help. You'll meet everyone every nine months or as you wish as there's a financial contribution each time you travel to visit colleagues.

Cons

The way we work takes some getting used to, you need to be a fast reader as everything is written down. The interview process is long, be patient!

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
