Bottom Line
PostHog
Radically transparent open-source culture with 2-3 person autonomous teams, no deadlines, and a public handbook — ideal if you're self-motivated, tough if you need structure.
Replit
Bold vision and explosive growth but a dramatic 50% headcount cut in 2025 signals a high-intensity, survival-of-the-fittest culture.
