Pros
* When you first get there it’s easy to be enamored by the nice office and free socks * Benefits are pretty good for a startup. But it will probably get reduced as they’re on a run of layoffs and cost cutting
Cons
If you're wondering about the high company rating, it's because they encouraged the company to write reviews to win awards. But if you really look at the reviews, as of this posting most of the reviews are over 1 to 2 years old. I'm certain the newer relevant reviews won't be the same * The lack of transparency and the duplicitousness is high. They brought the company together to celebrate how well we’re doing, only to lay off a large portion of the company the next week * Inconsistent review cycles and treatment. During my time there we probably had 1 review in 3 years. This allowed the favoritism and bias to come out, allowing people who, by any industry standard, should not have been promoted to the title they have (Imagine someone with 8 years of experience getting promoted to a title that requires 20+ years of experience). Meanwhile the unlucky ones will wait a long time for promotions * “Remote friendly,” if they like you. On teams that can be remote, they’ll single out individuals and passive aggressively hint that you should be in person. On teams that are required to be in office, it doesn’t apply to the whole team as certain people get special treatment. It’s very unfair to deal with people’s lives and careers like this in an unspoken, hushed manner * Resourcing for teams is imbalanced. Some teams consistently work close to 60 hours a week, while other teams have time to take 8+ weeks of vacation a year. When the problem goes on for years, people start to feel taken advantage of * The executive team has had a series of departures in the past year alone. CFO, Chief Product Officer, Chief People Officer…seems like bad leadership decisions is causing the company to do it’s 3rd round of layoffs in a year
