Pros

Good set of benefits that everyone can enjoy. Good salary, the cash specifically is good, equity is bad and has no value for the longest time to come. The folks around, humble and talented.

Kontras

This company is run by leaders who micromanage every little thing. They hire great people and then don’t let them do their jobs. Eventually, those people either burn out or quit. Layoffs happen every year, and they’re always called “restructuring.” The recent one in Sales wiped out many good folks. There’s no job security here — people work in fear, always wondering who’s next. The leadership team is completely disconnected from reality. They make terrible business decisions and quickly blame others when things go wrong. They care only about money, not about the people who actually make things happen. Engineering has some really capable folks, but they’re stuck in chaos. Projects are started and shut down randomly. Leaders can’t stick to one direction, and only a handful of “old” employees get any real recognition and are heard.. There’s no flexibility & work-from-home is only for favorites. Everyone else is forced to show up in the office, even when there’s nothing productive to do. In the past few months alone, so many good folks, I would go to an extent to call them industry's best, have left — Engineering Managers, the Head of TA, Sales Leader — basically anyone good has walked away or thinking about it. That says alot about this place. This company looks great from the outside but is a complete mess inside. Don’t fall for the promises — it’s a trap.

Pros

Wayground is at a stage where you can have real ownership and make a tangible impact. People are trusted to take initiative, improve processes, and help shape how the company scales.

Kontras

As with any fast-growing company, some processes and structure are still evolving. This can require flexibility and comfort with ambiguity, but it also creates opportunities to step up, lead initiatives, and directly influence how things are built.

Pros

The first few "seasons" were genuinely enjoyable. The people were the best part of working here—I met some incredibly talented colleagues and made lifelong friends. Despite the usual startup growing pains, there was a collaborative culture, decent perks, and frequent U.S. onsites that made it easy to build real relationships across teams. The product was solid, and it felt like everyone was working toward something exciting.

Kontras

Like a TV show that loses its magic after a few great seasons, everything changed when leadership was overhauled last year. The company seemed to swap out the "cast" instead of fixing the script. A wave of talented employees was laid off, not because the company needed to reduce headcount, but because new leadership appeared to want their own team in place. The result was a culture that felt completely different from the one that made people want to work here. Even before that, people would occasionally disappear with little or no communication, creating unnecessary uncertainty. Over the past year, restructures became the norm, goals became increasingly unrealistic, and employees were left wondering if they'd still be around for the next episode. From what I've heard, another major round of layoffs followed, suggesting the constant rewrites haven't solved the underlying problems. What started as a show I'd recommend to everyone became one I couldn't wait to stop watching.
