Pros

The pay is above average (but only because the stock is inflated at the moment)

Cons

- Most of the benefits you see in older reviews are gone. - Middle managers and above are incompetent. Majority were promoted when the company was small and handed out promotions like candy. - Old timers rule the company. Rub them the wrong way, you’re history. - Too top down. Imagine incompetent leadership mixed with top down culture. - The quality of work is trash. I’ve heard the product used to be good at some point, today it’s a feature salad. - Product culture: company thinks talking to customers is same as doing research. You can quote a couple of customers and justify building anything.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
