Pros

- Amazing co-workers, humble, smart, collaborative and passionate about company mission - Culture, benefits and ERGs - Brand awareness, mission-driven (or atleast used to be)

Cons

- Trail of broken promises. CEO assured employees we wouldn’t have layoffs, and then laid off 20% of the company. - New top-heavy management, almost every one was a former Amazon-exec. - Poor decision making on who should be laid off. - Tech is not innovative or even as good as our competitors despite what our marketing will have you believe. - Comp isn’t great and too many people keep leaving all-year round. - A lot of in-fighting between teams. Lack of strong tech and commercial leadership.

Pros

Lots of really smart and nice people at the company. The culture has improved a lot recently. There's a good amount of room to develop and jump on things that you might not be exposed to in other companies.

Cons

The company moves a little too fast at times and maybe overlooks things that are working well and don't necessarily need to be changed for "efficiency" at the risk of doing things incorrectly. It can be hard to move up in some departments. work/life balance varies a lot by team.
