Pros & Cons
Pinecone
- Exceptional colleagues — warm, welcoming, and technically among the best in the industry
- Fully remote with strong company culture, autonomy, and genuine growth opportunities
- Significant layoffs in 2024 (30% of staff) eroded trust and reduced headcount
- Below-market base salary even with equity compensation
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
Pinecone
