Dissapointing!

Pros

There are very few, none stand out

Cons

There is no clear on-boarding or training process. New hires are left on their own to figure things out, and co-workers are less than willing to help with questions. Its like some sort of hazing. Most of the people I worked with felt a lack of confidence in their product knowledge, but they would never say that to a manager. operations are hap hazard, and there is no clear path to success. What are employees supposed to know / do and when? People are promoted based on their ability to talk the talk and come off like they know what they are doing. Then they are rewarded for being a one man show and put in charge of a team even though they have no leadership abilities. There is no training for new leaders and new direct reports pay the price. Senior Leaders are more concerned with how thoroughly you fill in your JIRA fields vs. actually leading and ensuing their teams are trained and productive. There is a lot of time spent on non-value work. In order to keep up with the chaos, people are working 7 days a week. If you are a "yes" person, and don't speak up when there is a problem, you may do well here.

Pros

Great Technology Great Vision Fun People to work with Strive to do your best

Cons

Inexperience Management Decisions come from one person with little room for feedback No Career Path - after entry level - you are stuck in a path to no where Internal fighting between development (engineering) and product management (business) Everyone reports to one person -- that one person has no time to talk and eventually ignores you.

Pros

Great product. Company soley focused on going public and anything that gets in the way gets chopped.

Cons

Nepotism reigns supreme here as it is a family run company. I have never seen such classlessness in the firing of some employees for no reason aka wrongful terminations. Management would look at this as just a means of growing the company. There are some Directors/Managers that are toxic to the org's culture.
