The stated values are “Play for the front of your jersey,” “Truly, madly, deeply care,” “Go Deep,” “Be the captain,” and “Think developer-first.” Roles are explicitly designated remote, hybrid, or on-site by team and location; current Bangalore engineering postings indicate three office days per week.
Work style
Flexible
Compensation
The company advertises competitive pay and equity. Job applications request salary expectations, but the reviewed postings did not expose a reliable public salary range. No company-wide visa-sponsorship policy was found.
Benefits
Pricing
Paid monthly or annual plans; assessment products use plan/attempt-based purchasing, with enterprise/demo pricing and paid AI add-ons. Public pricing says annual plans can use attempts as needed and offers a free trial.

Estimated revenue
Approximately $40M–$50M annual revenue (third-party current estimate; other commercial databases publish materially conflicting figures, so this is low-confidence).
Estimated monthly visits
3.4M
