What do you like best about the leadership team?
They seem like they actually care about their employees
Review from Engineering Dept
Genuinely cares about their people.
Review from Engineering Dept
They're genuine, energetic, danish :), and very well put together. Each executives' profile is strong on paper and in practice. I don't think we necessarily have any weak links at the moment.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
1. If you are quoting 20-year old, best-selling management books, you are outdated from the start. 2. You can't keep rotating leaders at current speed, and everY time claim that "now you have the right team"
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The given stock rsu options
Review from Engineering Dept
Currently an intern so don't expect much
Review from Engineering Dept
RSU and salary. . .
Review from Engineering Dept
My base salary and bonus are strong, but my equity award is huge compared to any other company that I was interviewing with prior to joining.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
No more stocks after 4 years: this makes experienced employees earn less than junior ones.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
People are from all over the world. If you don't care about working off hours, long hours or weekends, that's a perk.
Review from Engineering Dept
Work well together, fun and really kind and nice,
Review from Engineering Dept

Not too much pressure on lower level engineers.
Review from Engineering Dept
Kindness that all the people in the office exude
Review from Engineering Dept
A friendly and relaxed place to work, in general.
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There's too much fear in the air. The most prevalent feeling is desperation. Which leads to politics, etc. It has become a net negative. I would strongly advice friends to stay away.
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
The given coding challenge for the first stage.
Review from Engineering Dept
Was a take home project - 2 interviews (technical and behavioral) - all enjoyable
Review from Engineering Dept
Meeting more people than what is on my team. Getting a tour of the office.
Review from Engineering Dept
The biggest thing for me was knowing my hiring manager and setting expectations upfront and transparently such that there would be no surprises when I joined (unlike other companies I had worked at previously).

What do you like best about your company?
That it is used by companies in many industries, so you get to see different use cases and meet diverse people.
Review from Engineering Dept
The people. The product is also fantastic. I'm also aligned with the vision!
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Right now, it seems like the only thing that matters is what the PE needs out of the company. It'd be awesome to go back to prioritizing customers.
Review from Engineering Dept
Take more diligent time to hire the right people. Don't take chances, even though we're trying to grow fast... Look up to companies like Google, Amazon, etc... Do NOT compromise culture for heads!
