Pluspunten

Nice and diverse colleagues on different teams. Very relaxed engineering culture so it's a good place to take a break between more demanding jobs.

Minpunten

Engineering managers are just engineers who have been there the longest. Nice but ineffective CTO, and his VPs just play politics and throw their weight around. There have been multiple HR complaints against them but they're still there. CEO is a liability but not involved day to day except for tweeting inflated attendance numbers.

Pluspunten

the events and the people are great.

Minpunten

management is inexperienced. the company is in transition/growth mode and experiencing major growing pains. their track record of ending employee contracts abruptly without warning/reason/notice is insane. in the case of sales, they end all communication once you are out the door and don't pay out commissions owed (?!)

Pluspunten

Struggling to find any, to be fair.

Minpunten

It's a boys club, and many of the propaganda spewed by the CEO is to use managers as tokens of diversity. Managers are ill-prepared, and will eventually push you out - no matter how well you perform. You will go far if you are a rule follower, but that's about it. The role is one of a call center - you are expected to take on 15-18 meetings a day for 20 minutes each only to be at the bottom of the company. Do not expect to be taken seriously if you are apart of the Startups team. Also, tenure in the company supersedes results.
