- Flexible work, remote, async - Many very kind coworkers - Can be good comp depending on where you live and what team
- The founders of this company were given over a Billion dollars within 3 years, leading to layoffs. If that doesn't speak to their management ability, I don't know what does. - Regular issues, including payroll - Async is cool, but there are infinite documentation pages and you waste forever trying to find information, or have someone else condescendingly link you to 5 pages to read over to get your answer. - Horrible planning, or more likely no planning. Hiring went unchecked. Budgets don't exist. Leadership takes no responsibility and just points fingers. - Leaders are mostly non existent, and show zero empathy and kindness to those that worked extremely hard to build their business. Either through layoffs, or somebody leaving out of frustration, leadership never seems to reflect on their part, and never brings these people up again. - Culture is virtually non existent. Big wins are just a bunch of emoji reactions. No effort for teams to get together or build more culture, despite leadership meeting in person for off-sites in nice places. Most people just float out on their own remote island. - Not transparent, and when things are communicated that are often so disguised as to be deceitful. They would probably cut your salary and tell you they were doing you a favor. - All focus is on sustainability and profitability, without taking the slow road. Cut the team. Cut the costs to the bone. Who cares about fairness and internal culture? No longer a joy to work for, but another company cutting everything they can. - Last, but certainly not least, it's just weak leadership. The second hard economic winds came, they instantly fell apart. They don't "lead" in any real sense, and I highly doubt these are the people that will make any correct decisions on product or figure out what the market wants.

Joining NVIDIA soon, fully remote. Say I decide to move in a year - how much of a pain would it be to get that “approved”? A big plus of remote is flexibility, so I anticipate moving several times until I buy a house in 4-6 years. #nvidia
Someone needs to tell Elon that Remote work is here to stay. Curious to know what everyone things about this..
I think it’s time to be honest on Blind and accept that on average, remote makes us less productive. Not saying this is true for everyone but I think for the majority, this is true. A lot of studies coming out supporting this. This isn’t bad. Less productive employees are leading to need for more ...Read more
