Pros

Lots of autonomy. Great people to work with. I've only been here a year, but we have teammates who have been here for a decade which I think is incredibly encouraging. Everybody's opinions and concerns are considered when it comes to planning and the direction of the products.

Cons

Very startup-like with occasionally shifting goals. I don't think it's a negative thing, but some could consider it as such.

Pros

Some talented and genuinely kind coworkers (though they don’t stay long) Occasional flexibility in schedule, depending on your manager.

Cons

Toxic environment: Longtime employees have mastered the art of blaming newcomers to avoid accountability. High turnover: Many senior and high-performing employees have left recently, a definite red flag. False sense of autonomy: Despite what you’ll read elsewhere, there’s very little independence. Expect strict micromanagement and constant monitoring of your online status. Remote work under pressure: The company is clearly moving away from remote-friendly policies, forcing remote workers into rigid Arizona-based schedules regardless of time zone. Low pay disguised as competitive: Compensation lags behind industry averages, but leadership insists otherwise. Unstable products: The core product is outdated, and newer initiatives feel half-baked. There’s a lot of “positive spin” from executives, but it doesn’t match reality. Lengthy hiring process: It looks thorough but should be viewed as an early sign of internal disorganization and micromanagement from the top down.
