Pluspunten

The months that they decide to pay, the pay can be pretty decent Remote work Interesting project

Minpunten

You will end up getting scammed and not paid CEO will constantly try to gaslight and manipulate you They will overwork you as much as possible Most toxic work culture you can find. They will make plans with some employees on how to fire others, etc. They fire and rehire people every few months, and the CEO openly speaks about how people are easily replaceable CTO is totally out of it. He works 3 days a week and holds the company hostage as he is the only one who knows the codebase. Nobody else can learn it as the average worker gets fired after 6 months Even when you do get paid, its always with a 1+ month delay They will threaten to sue you for the dumbest reasons They try to silent ex-employees as much as possible They constantly lie about what will be happening Long meetings for no reason. There are literally meetings that last 2 hours just so you can listen to a lot of fluff to boost the CEOs ego CEO might have severe mental problems. She would even yell at people during meetings and has questionable manipulation methods when speaking

Pluspunten

Customers like the product and because our support team is globally distributed, we don't have to work brutal overnight shifts. Also, the engineering team is incredibly responsive to customer feedback which makes my job easier. If a client spots a bug or needs an AI feature tweak, it’s often fixed in the next sprint. I like that we have a direct line to the product managers via Slack. If a customer hits a major bug, I can flag it instantly and see it patched within hours.

Minpunten

Honestly I don't have much to say, there are always things a team can improve but we are quite agile and and I believe we are heading in the right direction with the product.

Pluspunten

I get to collaborate with incredibly smart developers and LLM engineers globally. The internal knowledge sharing is phenomenal. The code is very well documented and maintained because it is mandatory to follow code simplicity and optimisation rules. This made it easy for me to get started and ship features. It also helped me improve my coding skills.There is no micro-management: Because we are fully remote, trust is the default. You are judged strictly on your output and the elegance of your code, not butt-in-seat time, which I am totally fine with. Which brings me to the previous negative reviews I noticed here. I find them very unfair because when hiring, the co-founders are clear and upfront about what you can expect (pros and cons) when working here and who they are the best fit for. Second, these reviews are from some freelancers who were hired to help with exceptional overload but were very bad at their job, got fired or gave up. I actually saw the code, PR reviews and attended all the meetings.

Minpunten

It's a feature-rich platform so I find the learning curve to be steeper on the functional side (i.e product features) than it is on the code side.
