Pros
When things are going well enough to maintain the illusion of stability, the company feels as good as any other.
Kontras
The company makes claims about what it can do based on its connections with investors who have “deep pockets”. There was a sense that, because the company was connected with deep pockets, it would be able to raise enough money to keep things running fairly easily. However, the company recently cut contractors and laid off people because they were unable to raise enough money. And it was done in a way that surprised everyone who wasn’t in the know. There was no sense of urgency to try and make things work. One day it was normal, and the next, more than half of the company’s product team was cut. The leadership, which lead the company to such a dire state, is still running the show. And there’s little reason to believe something like this won’t happen again. If you’re considering this company, make sure you can take care of yourself if they were to cut you. They’ve shown a repeated willingness to cut people to save money. I can’t say I’d personally recommend taking a job here.
