Avantages

Fast-paced and energizing environment: If you enjoy variety, momentum, and new challenges, you’ll never be bored. There’s always something interesting to work on. Great place to grow quickly: The speed of change creates a lot of opportunity to take on new responsibilities, lead initiatives, and stretch your skills. Ideal for people who thrive in ambiguity: If you’re someone who likes building as you go, experimenting, and figuring things out in real time, you’ll feel right at home.

Inconvénients

The pace can be overwhelming: Change happens constantly, and things move so quickly that teams rarely get a moment to slow down or recalibrate. Lack of structure during transitions: Processes, succession planning, and handoffs lag behind the speed of the work, which can create confusion or gaps. Workload is often redistributed, not reduced: Projects rarely pause, even if team headcount is cut in half; instead, responsibilities shift quickly from person to person, which can make the workload feel heavy. Compensation is not adjusted no matter how many times workload is. Hard to maintain institutional knowledge: With frequent changes and shifting priorities, important context and processes can get lost unless teams are very intentional about capturing it. 5-days in-office: In 2025, the CEO announced a shift from 3 days in-office to 5-days. This change was presented without real reason other than the CEO believing it was the right choice to increase collaboration.

Avantages

It used to be a good company who made a premium product, with smart coworkers, interesting tasks that involved a lot of math problems, with detailed code reviews. It still has generous PTO, sick days and a discounted lunch (in Raleigh office).

Inconvénients

Management changed and there is an ongoing optimisation with hidden layoffs / force quits with no severance. Biased performance reviews with high expectations. Frequent goal changes and useless projects that will eventually be terminated and the whole team will be shuffled or dismissed. Complete delivery mess. Left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Knowledge transfer sucks. The only way to understand the feature is to dig into the code (bad for newbies). New unqualified and arrogant low-level managers and team-leads, hide their uselessness on endless meetings, blah-blah-blahing with no real impact just to add visibility. A lot of stress, 5 days from office in an open space with no remote option even for new parents. The base is low with no stocks. Pro-Russian company, previously based in Moscow, relocated the whole office to the US and Europe due to sanctions during Russian-Ukrainian war (they recently laid-off a few Ukrainian guys).
