Pros

Remote friendly & nice offices. Comp is decent.

Cons

Very political toxic culture. Constant layoffs in marketing and turnover in sales. Promotions are not performance based, but a popularity contest. Work-life balance is the worst I've experienced. Senior leadership turnover is high. New CMO yearly, and constant change of VPs. Management is extremely ineffective, and many are not qualified to do the role.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
