They pay well and have a pretty SF and Paris office. They really try to do good on onboarding.
Overall would probably be 3 stars if it weren’t so unstable and always layoffs. It is an odd culture that teeters on worshipping Chuck. No solid motivation or direction and no innovation. They are so behind the times.
