Pros & Cons
PostHog
- Extreme transparency — public handbook, open-source everything, radical autonomy
- 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
Wayve
- Great culture — smart, friendly people with a supportive and inclusive familial bond
- Immense creative freedom and autonomy; founders are humble and open to being challenged
- Career progression framework is unclear — salaries and promotions feel arbitrary
- Very ambitious demands create vulnerability to burnout; processes built on the fly
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.
Wayve
One of Europe's top deep-tech companies with excellent Glassdoor ratings (4.4) and a cutting-edge AV research environment — but expect an intense pace and most roles are London-based.
