Pros: Nice people to work with. Position 100% remote.

Cons: Didn’t get a great feel for the company. Was part of a mass layoff after less than a year of employment. I left a very good job for them, which was so disappointing. But I did receive a good exit package.

Pros: - Could be a fine place at a terminal level. - Free food. - Solid stock payout. - Mostly kind and hard-working ICs.

Cons: - Slow and unclear promotion processes with no level transparency, so you cannot easily assess yourself and your compensation. - Lagging promotions are a way to overwork and underpay for longer, touted as "validating that you are ready for the next step". - Excessive bureaucracy has turned the corner from a startup "build fast" vibe to "you build fast, but we move slow". - Culture of overwork without recognition. It's difficult to set boundaries because of management and aggressive/unrealistic roadmaps. This may not be company-wide, but I have also had experiences with very narrow-minded management that drive hard for the bottom line without being capable of looking at the big picture. - If you work diligently and anticipate/look into risks, but no issues arise, you’re blamed for taking too long, even if you were operating within the planned timeline. - However, if risks had materialized and you hadn’t done due diligence, there would have been complaints about lack of preparation.

Pros: My manager and peers help me a lot, and I finally deliver much more than I expected.

Cons: Only interns with very good performance can have return offers, which is not good.
