Pros: Everyone there is incredibly smart and motivated. Leadership knows how to deliver value to customers and make money. If you work hard and show that you can deliver, there is a lot of opportunity for growth.

Cons: Burnout is common if you do not protect your time. Long hours can be the norm and sometimes required if you want to grow.

Pros: - Opportunity to take on many new projects if you are motivated and develop your skills. - Talented and humble coworkers. - The company is structured to adapt quickly to market changes, meaning business has continued to grow despite the turbulence of the past couple years.

Cons: - General feelings of disdain towards employees coming from upper management. - Significant equity growth has already happened, making the current equity-heavy compensation less attractive. - Easy to burn out if you don’t set boundaries.

Pros: Honestly, after a year, I can't think of any. Some teammates here are amazing, though.

Cons: If you are a new grad, don't join unless you don't care about compensation. Applied doesn't have levels, so you don't get the salary bump. You'll get much better compensation anywhere else. Equity is not worth anything after Series E (not much upside). Toxic management. Having everyone arrive at the office at 8 am when there's a customer visit just to impress customers. You will not have time for interviews even if you want to leave because of the strictly enforced in-person policy. Encourage feedback but take no action on the feedback. People who give feedback are also sometimes given negative reviews because they "do not focus on execution." Very sketchy tech. Things break before demos, and many things are not implemented in the proper way.
