      Disorganized and Lost Their Way

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The employees they do have are treated well - Decent career opportunities - All of my peers were amazing people

      Cons

      - Disorganized management (constantly moving targets, contradicting business updates month-by-month, and poor communication from leadership) - "Golden Rule": It sounds stupid, but it was one of my favorite parts of the company. Treat others how you want to be treated. A core value from the CEO and Founder. Along the way, the company made repeated choices that went against this, to the point where it feels insulting they have that included in their values. This includes mass layoffs in favor of cheap labor, despite "one last final push" till we were a public company. Many of these employees had been with the company since its beginning. The entire 2023 year left a massive bitter taste in my mouth and many others. Beware of this company's culture before you enter. - Their shirts are way overpriced

      Not what it used to be

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote work, low stakes product, people are nice, good work life balance

      Cons

      Workers have very little say in direction of company Fickle, wavering, out of touch leadership is isolated from suffering consequences Focus on enterprise over community They fired about half of the technology division suddenly and are focusing on hiring contractors and offshoring
