Pros

- Friendly & kind People. The HR Team goes out of their way to welcome new employees & arrange team building activities. - Good for Devs & Engineers that just want to put their heads down & do work & don't mind always being told what to do.

Cons

- Constant change. Org structure changes are frequent & based on current projects. Expect to be moved around or even laid-off depending on immediate needs. - Low commitment to employees. There are a few long-term people in leadership roles & mostly everyone else is under one year. Leadership would rather nit-pick minor issues (including public criticism over Slack) than providing psychological safety to perform. - Restricted communication. 'unapproved' Slack channels will be deleted & interactions with other depts must be channeled through leads. Leadership aim to reduce flow of ideas & push one-way communication. Combined with remote work it can be isolating.

Cons

The first time a met these these people in real life, a convo broke out among a small group that included a few managers (mine included) about how they had worked at jobs where: you couldn’t trust anyone and everyone was fake friends. That’s exactly what I experienced with these people. My manager threw me under the bus the second I tried to have a candid private conversation with him. Instead of being a person who I could trust, confide in, have my back, he treated me like his child. I was handed passive aggressive compliments reserved for a second grader from top people. I was on the receiving end of sexual advances at their bi-yearly conference Hangtime and was sub sequentially trolled on slack in the aftermath. They have a bad corporate culture, and they’ve tried to cover it up by implementing an employee point system that yields you gift cards. Working for Dribbble reads like a remote version Office Space or an episode of Black Mirror. All the tweets and medium posts saying how great it is to work for them is just propaganda to cover up the truth. During weekly calls, they’d trout out the same old tired mission statement about how they’re a platform to help designers. Spend 2 seconds on that. Then they spend 20+ minutes talking about the company financials. The CEO Zack Onisko is misleading. When a potential new hire reach out to me, the CEO asked me to SELL him on the positive parts of Dribbble. I guess simply TELLING somebody on the benefits of working for Dribbble wasn’t good enough.
