Pros

The company still has a lot of potential in terms of business growth. Compensation package for new hires is competitive. Some projects are truly interesting. A lot of things are being fixed. Overall, things are probably better than most other startups in similar stage.

Cons

Lack of communication inside the company is still a problem and I don't see it getting fixed any time soon. I do feel a lot of times, decision making is pretty much top-down. Onboarding experience needs to be improved a lot. Product goals are not well aligned between different orgs. Overall, I don't feel that a lot of folks care very much about others and what they do. Upper management is still being stabilized. Some folks who joined 3-4 years ago are leaving, but this situation is understandable and common in startups at this stage.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
