Pros
Exec Leadership seems to care and have frequent all-hands meetings to share updates. Execs seem really bought in to the company vision and they seem to work really hard. Execs send out frequent employee surveys and seem to care about the issues raised in employee surveys and the retention issues. They are trying to make small changes to make improvements, but it will take time and take much more effort, transparency, and honesty than they are exhibiting. Unlimited PTO is a pro however, there is stigma by team leads whenever you want to actually take time off so it's not really "unlimited". There is a culture of rewarding who can take the least amount of time off and who can work at all hours of the day/night and the excuse is that "we are a global company". Fully remote roles.
Cons
Execs seem to care about the company vision and about people however, this gets lost at the lower levels of mgmt. and execs have no idea what's really going on at lower levels because they don't look into the issues deeply or do skip levels. Jobs posted are to attract people, once in the job, the roles change and the expectations are different than what originally expected. ERGs have maybe one event a quarter and they are not what was advertised when I hired on. Lime is fully remote but many teams and team leaders do not instill good remote work methods. There are many times the right people are not included in conversations, no one uses cameras, rare 1:1s with managers that aren't focused on adding more work, people only talk to you if they need something, and people don't share info unless explicitly asked. Turnover/Retention - teams completely turn over within a year, hard to have continuity, this is especially true in corporate support teams. Work gets distributed and backfills aren't hired for months so everyone ends up doing 2-3 jobs eventually. People are treated as disposable. No 401k matching even though this was promised when interviewing. To move around or get promoted, you have to be there a few years to even be considered. Salary is low and after investigating value of stock options, it's pretty low unless you are hired into upper management roles. They try to down level people and reduce their worth. Make sure to negotiate and start high. Ask for their level charts.
