Pros

Nice office with good facilities, good benefits

Cons

Poor micromanagement, lack of proper training, horrible working environment (you cannot even speak). Everyone works extra hours every day, for free. Terrible balance between work and personal life, most of the employees almost live at the office. Even when you go home you are "on call". Control freak management, with no soft skills or training skills. Snitching culture: when you are called to give feedback they expect you to snitch on your colleagues. Snitching and gossip is the primary source of information. Crazy shifts with no proper rest periods.

Because of that we have been driving new initiatives and eventually some situations, internally, need to be corrected. We take opinions like yours seriously and we will commit to ensuring that our teams feel that their voices can be heard and that we are open to change. Please talk to your People Success Manager or directly with me as we may find good solutions together.

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
