Pros

Lots of smart hardworking people!

Cons

*lots of questioning internally whether this is a truly innovative tech company, seems like you could've done this business 20 years ago. *overhyped growth potential, basically competing w similar companies on price only, no real moat. not particularly revolutionary by silicon valley standards. *poor work/life balance *inexperienced leadership- frequent changes in direction and some poor organizational decisions *has seen avoidable attrition on eng/product teams

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
