Pros

My direct manager and immediate team are great. People are supportive, collaborative, and genuinely trying to do the best they can with what they have. The culture at the team level is positive and most people are competent and easy to work with.

Cons

The workload across teams feels unsustainable. Many groups appear to be understaffed while expectations continue to increase, which results in employees taking on the responsibilities of multiple roles. It often feels like teams are stretched thin and constantly trying to keep up. Compensation is also not very competitive compared to the broader tech market, especially considering the workload and expectations placed on employees. There also appears to be a disconnect between executive leadership and the day-to-day realities employees face. Some decisions and initiatives seem to overlook how much work teams are already carrying.

Thank you for your thoughtful and candid feedback. We're glad your direct manager and team have been a strong part of your experience — that kind of culture at the team level matters to us. We hear you on the workload, compensation, and the disconnect you describe between leadership and day-to-day realities. These are concerns we take seriously. We benchmark our compensation regularly against the market and are committed to ensuring workloads remain sustainable as we grow. Your point about leadership staying connected to operational realities is equally important, and we'll continue working to close that gap. We appreciate you sharing this and for your continued commitment to the team.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
