Pros

Some of the people here are genuinely great, don't buy into the lack of culture, and could be at a company that actually values their talents and abilities. I suggest you look around.

Cons

Recruiting has asked people to write reviews as soon as you start so be mindful about what you read. The CEO and CTO both have huge egos and are highly disrespectful. They believe they are always right and do not have the capacity to value original thoughts or ideas. They claim to care about Neighbors, but are really just concerned about expanding the product footprint and ultimately the long term bottom line. They are not concerned about quality over time to market or their employees and company culture. People disappear from this company on a regular basis, not necessarily for performance reasons, but trivial matters and there is no management process. Be careful what you do and say even if you have the company's best interest in mind. There are a lot of internal stability issues and lack of top level leadership and direction. In fact I don't think they have a sense of how to manage growth and delegate responsibility. If you're not working around the clock you're most likely being verbally assaulted or talked down to. Don't expect to have any sort of reasonable deadlines or organizational support. The company celebrates nothing, not even shipping a new product and there is a complete lack of culture unless you believe fear, intimidation, and arrogance are appropriate corporate values.

Pros

- lots of people care about the work - lots of cool projects to dig into and grow from

Cons

- owned by Amazon so you'd have to tolerate the constant threat of layoffs (I guess that's most big tech companies nowadays) - heavily pushing us to utilize AI solutions anywhere we can - not a lot of room for upward advancement

Pros

Free lunch and good snacks

Cons

The work culture is toxic. No one knows what’s going on and refuses to fix problems. CEO will contact you on weekends. No work life balance. There were launches where we would sleep only 2-3 hours a day for weeks. You will work through holidays and there is no overtime or any thanks for your effort. People will always point the finger at others and find one person to blame and that person will be punished via demotion. No accountability from the top and no patience. Others at the top will take credit for your wins and you will be punished for anything that goes wrong. Harassment is rampant. Women are not safe in this workplace. People of color are not safe. People are encouraged to bully each other and talk behind each other’s back about their personal life. There is no professionalism. People are quick to backstab you here. You can give up your whole life for this job but there still won’t be a ladder to an upwards position.
