Pros
Generally high caliber peers. Interesting value prop and market position. They claim high comp, but recent interviewing proves they are not as competitive as they believe, even in the current job market (US).
Kontras
Unsophisticated and myopic leadership across the org. Culture is set at the top and forces otherwise sane, sensible, and generally bright individuals to act without professional courtesy under the guise of open dialogue. Perception management, politics, and performative always on Slack activity are the common thread among “high performers.” Be wary of anyone who has been there over 2 years - at best, they have learned how to survive in a toxic environment and at worst they are actively perpetuating it. Industry volatility, but that’s to be expected. Believe the reviews and avoid unless you absolutely have no other options.
