Process
Interview Stages:

Everyone was very easy to talk to.

Smart people
Engineer Manager • Current Employee
Boston, MA
July 28, 2025
Pros: Smart people who care about what they are building
Cons: Leadership is very junior, and not much mentoring is provided.
2.0
Senior management is terrible -- would not recommend
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Boston, MA
August 7, 2025
Pros: Decent comp, and liquidity due to being a public company. Some cool people are still left.
Cons: Senior management is some of the worst I've ever seen. The executive suite is a revolving door, with a CEO who thinks he's the second coming of Elon Musk. There is a top-down directive to be extremely bullish on AI, among a variety of other trend-chasing moves. If you have a good manager, you might have good WLB; otherwise, you're probably screwed. There is a lack of code quality and a lot of incidents, so good luck if you're on call. I would recommend working elsewhere.

High turnover and instability
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Boston, MA
September 28, 2026
Pros: Pay is competitive to some other Boston-only tech companies.
Cons: I would not recommend working here; there has been a massive employee exodus over the past year. Those who are still around are waiting for severance or looking for other jobs. All engineers are significantly happier with the jobs they move on to after leaving.
