Pros

Work with driven, hard-working colleagues - the people are the best. The product itself is a close second, it's truly a game changer and dream to work on something you believe in. Work benefits are above average as well, and general flexibility when/where you work, which is helpful for juggling family responsibilities.

Cons

While when/where you work is flexible, if you think you're getting away with a 35 hour work week you've got another thing coming. Really depends what you define as work-life balance. Also a ton of pivots in direction causing many efforts to go unfinished before moving on to the next initiative making it hard to show impact sometimes.

Pros

The people. Talented people doing their best in an unstable environment.

Cons

Over 220 employees were laid off, not because the company was collapsing or employees failed at their jobs, but because leadership made a deliberate financial decision that treated people as expendable once they had served their purpose. People who helped scale the platform, support customers, and build the company were discarded the moment it became more profitable or convenient to do so. What makes this worse is that this has happened before. Employees were reassured it would never happen again. We were told we were valued. Many of us believed it. I had just celebrated being one of the most consistently valued members of my team before suddenly finding myself among the 220+ without jobs. The messaging afterward felt carefully curated to justify the decision publicly while avoiding the reality employees experienced internally. From the inside, it did not feel strategic. It felt cold, calculated, and completely disconnected from the people affected. And make no mistake, “220 employees” is not just a number on a spreadsheet. That is 220 people with families, rent, mortgages, children, responsibilities, and lives built around the expectation that dedication and performance meant something. If you work here, understand the risk. Performance will not protect you. Loyalty will not protect you. Being told you are indispensable will not protect you.
