Early reporting described a highly perked, in-office startup culture with meals, fitness perks, wearables, and onsite lodging. Later reporting described a deteriorating culture marked by salary delays, layoffs, resignations, office closures, and allegations of fund mismanagement.
Compensation
Historical reporting described generous early perks and salary promises, but later investigations alleged delayed pay, unpaid salaries, layoffs, and vendor debt. Public evidence is not sufficient to describe a stable current compensation policy.
Benefits
Pricing
