Pros
The benefits are good, and the office space is solid (unless you’re in SF or in Sales, then you’re shunted into a WeWork).
Cons
Senior leadership is revenue-growth obsessed, and is expanding into new markets without clear strategy or basic market research. If you don’t drive revenue, you’ll get pushed out of the way in short order. CEO talks about doing right by customers, but doesn’t back up her words until there’s revenue involved.
Over-arching product vision is lacking. CEO supplements with micromanagement of individual details later in the process.
Company fires very aggressively, often blaming employees and mid-managers for senior leaders’ lack of vision and strategic clarity.
Constant reorganizations, and engineering increasingly turning into an AI-slop factory
Executive team is increasingly just pounding the table on AI all day, every day.
Lack of meaningful growth or technical challenge as a result.
Three day per week office requirements in expensive areas despite middling to below-average compensation. Equity is not attractive.
Management and interviewers openly mock the notion of work life balance, and that has knock-on effects for diversity. If you have a life outside of work, this is not the place for you.
