Pluspunten

- ICs and middle management are great; very talented and impact-oriented, with strong teamwork - Tech stack is good, leveraging off-the-shelf products when possible so the team focuses on building actually novel stuff

Minpunten

- CEO is toxic and ineffective. He won't listen to constructive feedback and cancels 1:1s and other meetings to avoid hearing any criticism. - There's no sales organization, just a business development team that is constantly selling new products that the engineering team has to whip up. Lots (most?) of these projects never actually launch because deals don't get signed. This is a big cause of burnout. - The Board doesn't seem to have any involvement in the company, so leadership is never held to account. - Leadership keeps fundraising without a clear long-term profitability strategy. - Any push back on projects is seen as a failure of the engineering team to do their jobs.

Pluspunten

The people you work with are the greatest people. They are so kind and will help you out.

Minpunten

This has been the worst company I ever worked for. Management will tell you "You are doing great!" but then turn around and say you are not meeting expectations. Leadership has no clue what they are doing and continues to blame the little people at the bottom. Its sad that the only conversation the people who are working there is talking about all the layoffs that has happened in the last five years. You do the work of five people and compensated like you work retail at 17 dollars an hour. The CEO is clueless. If I could rate this company a 0 I would. Please stay away from this company.
