Pros

Good Pay, Flexible Work Environment, Good Developers (most)

Cons

SVP of Tech dictates roadmap People are leaving at an alarming rate, not just from product, but from UX and Sales They don't know how to hire good product people Promotions are based on how smart you make the SVP feel, if you play the game, you will fail upwards

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. The best product road maps are the result of a lot of input, debate and collaboration, and product managers synthesize it all into a coherent point of view. Our most successful teams have big dreams but start small and consistently deliver and adjust. I'd love your perspective directly on opportunities for advancement and our approach; if you would prefer, please connect with Rebekah. - Ted

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
