Cons
Company is super dodgy - as can be seen from their current global regulatory issues. They have also paid off people in certain markets to make their criminal issues go away. They have built inferior internal tools to replace Microsoft Office and Google Suites in order to avoid easy access for US authorities to their information. They suffer from massive hubris, believing they have reinvented the corporation in just 5 years. they refuse to do a forecast for example - something that would have allowed them to spot early on that they were over-hiring, rather than then letting go of 1,500 people they had pulled out of good jobs but could not afford CZ recites his latest management book readings as though they are gospel, but has no idea how to actually manage people, and he and his co-founders maintain a tight inner circle that controls all decisions - even those they are spectacularly unqualified to make. The culture is toxic, most conversations are extremely transactional - everyone works remote, no one switches on their cameras, some people use aliases, and no one bothers with relationship building. Why would you? The turnover is astonishingly high - people leave without any announcement being made and suddenly you have to find someone else to turn to for information. Again, because they are so dodgy, they don’t have proper org charts which makes it a nightmare internally trying to find someone to help you with your work Avoid, avoid, avoid….
