Badly managed

Pros: Attractive workspaces and reasonable WFH policies
Cons: Management was not very kind in general and very hostile in some ways. They promised and told quite a few things on employment that turned out to be quite false and the opposite, which felt like a bait and switch.
5.0
Great place - both cultural and engineering
Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: Very comfortable culture and atmosphere, technologically advanced, real business output, and a very good process of discussing and solving internal problems.

Good company and positive outlook
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, CA

Pros: The core product is strong, and they have a strong network of consumers and providers of data. They have invested in building new products like IDV and payments. The culture is still strong, and people value impact.
Cons: Change is a constant, so it does not feel like there is stability or consistency, which is something you should expect in this environment and in smaller companies.
