AI Insights:

Brex built a genuinely great culture and then slowly dismantled it - benefits cut, leadership revolving door, and a Capital One acquisition that has everyone checking their parachutes. The ICs are legitimately sharp but are increasingly managed by people who got promoted because they agreed with everything. It's a great place to grow early in your career, as long as you don't expect equity liquidity, a 401k match, or your manager to have held this role before.
