Pros & Cons

- Generous compensation with competitive pay, equity, and home office budget
- Small team means limited career progression paths
- Top-down decision-making can sometimes override team input
Suno

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.
Suno
Mission-driven team building the leading AI music platform with explosive growth — but startup growing pains and below-market comp for the AI space.
