Pros

good pay, easy sell as most customers are used to the brand and the site commands very high traffic

Cons

lack of innovation, middle management in engineering and search quality is killing the company by making arbitrary decisions that hurt our customers, our relationships (partners) and is starting to get us into trouble because some practices are not compliant with labor department regulations or are anticompetitive in nature. Rest of the company is actually great to work with and for but I am worried about the future and the lack of clear leadership after founder departure

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
