Pros

- Smart group of IC some of the Leads are good - Good benefits - Remote

Cons

- No consideration for work-life Balance - Lack of support from the leadership team, they are insensitive and treat people badly - Lack of visibility - More and more people are unhappy - Very political (need to be seen to be recognized) US centric - Tons of meetings - Tons of communications as if we can work and at the time cope with the 1000 updates you send every day! - Unrealistic strategy and KPIs - Changed all the processes to make them not sustainable - They said it's allowed to make mistakes but you get blamed for the first one! - Laying off people for no real reason and pretending these people were not surprised (another lie)

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
