Great company if they can continue the momentum and culture and update on time
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 11, 2019
Pros: The company has a great culture, and they take care of their employees very well. They are expanding a lot faster, but this is putting stability at risk sometimes. Overall, the company is a good place to work. Some of the teams' work might be boring.
Cons: Salaries and benefits are not up to the market rate, but stock doing great is the best thing.
Hiring too many middle managers is making things complicated and giving a feel of a large organization rather than a startup or mid-size company.
