Pros

- Good, competitive pay - Great benefits - Work from home and continual learning stipends - Loved my own team and VP

Cons

- Leadership is toxic and abusive and went out of their way to kill any Diversity & Inclusion initiatives to the extent of removing the D&I page from the website. The company refused to participate in Pride or any other “heritage months.” Any content around trans rights or trans visibility was complained about. - The attitude sent down from Leadership is very “shut up and work.” Any public non-work-related communication channels are heavily monitored. They rolled out Slack and then specifically removed any social channels, killing any avenues to socialize and network cross-functionally. - At the beginning of the pandemic, the company had occasional virtual events to keep culture alive but current leadership removed any reoccurring events. - The CEO and leadership are a toxic antiquated Boys’ Club. - If you’re not a cis white man, avoid this company. They do not care about or want to even acknowledge diversity.

Pros

Business is taking off like a rocket ship - the product is the best in the business - smartest & hardest working people I've met in my career.

Cons

Very demanding. You need broad shoulders to work here. Not a place to just collect a paycheck.

Pros

Absolutely nothing. I guess you could say above-market pay, but it's only because they know if they don't, they'd lose everyone.

Cons

Where to even begin. The executive team has to have a hand in everything — and I mean everything. The experienced ones are dismissive and rude; the inexperienced ones act like they know more than you and expect you to fall in line. You can sense the insecurity in how they operate. It'd be almost funny if it weren't so demoralizing. Excited to contribute real domain knowledge? Prepare to be told you're wrong, have your work torn apart without any acknowledgment of the effort behind it, and watch executives with final approval on everything deflate projects they barely understand. Work/life balance? That's a myth here. They expect 24/7 availability — and they'll bypass professional channels entirely to call or text you directly. PTO requires multiple levels of approval and you'll still be contacted while you're off. Accountability? Only for you. The "rules for thee, not for me" culture is real. You're expected to constantly produce more and perform better, but don't expect the same from leadership. They won't be held to the same standard. Hiring is a joke. They talk about "hiring for excellence." What they mean is: hiring whoever has a relationship with the right executive, regardless of qualifications. The bottom line: I know Glassdoor reviews get dismissed as venting. But I want to be clear — joining this company was the worst professional decision of my career. There's no real culture, no ethics, no sense of mutual respect. It's purely transactional, and the moment they decide you're expendable, they'll let you go without warning and without any humanity. Do your due diligence before accepting an offer here.
