Pros

Pros: Some people in the company live up to the webpage's claims about open debate and honesty. Product experts are fun to work with. All remote.

Cons

Cons: 1. Management will fire people just before the stock options cliff to keep their equity. 1b. Management will tell you that you have performance issues, then tell you your performance has improved and you might get promoted when the company grows, then pretend to have no memory of that conversation when they fire you. 2. We treated prospective hires unfairly by posting jobs we weren't actually prepared to fill. We led on promising interviewees who performed well and were clearly excited to work with us. 3. There's no diversity. 4. We wasted tons of time working on projects that we had good a-priori reason to believe would not pan out, because management didn't listen to feedback. We wasted tons of time not implementing or delaying projects that were clearly necessary, for the same sort of reason. 5. Red tape landmines--lots of poorly-defined processes, being told contradictory things. You could end up in a weeks of meetings with multiple of people trying to justify a simple change, or you could find yourself trying to follow a few sentences in an out of date and hard to find google doc when dealing with something that actually needed serious discussion. 6. Management will fire between a third and a half of the company's full time employees in the same calendar year, and tell everyone the problem was hiring the wrong people. No responsibility or accountability for leadership failures. No exit interview or interest in understanding what went wrong.

Pros

It's a cool idea and a smart one. The pay and benefits offered were more than fair, at least for me.

Cons

Can't trust the CEO and his management team. They'll tell you one thing, like "You're doing a great job" or "Your job's not in jeopardy" and then the next thing you know, "Sorry, we're going to have to let you go for "performance" reasons." You're not free to disagree or advocate for better solutions, at least not without painting a big target on your back. Their careers page is filled with platitudes and sometimes just outright lies.

Pros

Good comp, good benefits, clean slate to build in. Interesting idea, clearly a bit ahead of its time.

Cons

People management is clumsy and inexperienced. Recent technological + market winds could make this problem space much more difficult to emerge out of.
