Pros

- The healthcare benefits for US employees is good - Work life balance can be flexible if you are proactive about blocking calendar and declining unnecessary meetings

Cons

- Toxic culture with teams competing against and backstabbing each other, managers thirsting for power and blaming problems on other teams. All this stems from the company having no direction or path toward profitability. - Diversity and Inclusion is a joke. If you are woman or part of LGBTQ+ community, you are not welcomed here. Multiple instances of C-level management mocking a non-binary person for using they/them pronouns. - Very reactive style. You could be working on the most important project in the company one week and then that project is dropped in favor the shiny new thing that some other VP said was important. Projects can't ship because priorities are always changing as they are just throwing everything against the wall and see what sticks. - Got rid of their best perk of monthly days off (whaleness days) and blamed it on employees not being efficient - You are discouraged from taking PTO even though it is "unlimited"

Pros

Compensation and benefits are great. Most people/co-workers are really nice people. COO can be compelling and offset the CEO - but only for so long.

Cons

When absentee exec leadership does show their face, they are constantly chasing the new shiny thing. No consideration for what has been in flight, planned, or even released. Projects, products and internal org structures change daily. Resources are thin and we're told to "adopt AI in all things within 6 months." Sr mgmt trying to stay relevant by "solving" problems that don't exist and pushing agendas that don't benefit anyone aside from themselves. HR asking people to write positive reviews to offset reality um... ok??
