Pros

Collaborative, fun, and talented teammates across departments. Lots of ways to make a positive impact without a ton of red tape. Big focus on praise and bonding activities. You really feel like you know everyone and are working closely with your teammates even though most everyone is remote. The people managers do a good job at remote team management. The office is a relaxed place when you can bring your dog.

Cons

Some long-tenured employees with little experience working or implementing industry best-practices create congestion and keep the company stagnant. Together with some pretty old code, it's hard to understand why more progress has not been made in the company's innovation after almost 20 years of business. Very little to no potential for growth and less than competitive salaries. A bit clickish so that only certain well-connected people do get promoted. Others, who carry huge loads of work get very little recognition to they point they end up leaving and taking all the history with them.

Cons

• No clear or honest path for advancement despite multiple years of strong performance • Repeatedly told opportunities were coming, then given “interviews” that went nowhere • Advancement process feels performative rather than genuine • Constantly changing requirements made bonuses harder to achieve, even as a top performer • Poor communication and lack of transparency about company direction • Frequent layoffs created ongoing anxiety and instability • Benefits were reduced or removed over time, including DoorDash credits that were part of the original compensation package • Team culture heavily centered around alcohol-based social outings • I was explicitly told that attending these bar outings would improve my advancement opportunities, which felt exclusionary for employees who do not drink or are unable to attend The company had a DEI group, does not meaningfully address hiring, representation, or retention • Despite DEI initiatives, the company remained overwhelmingly white, with very little diversity across teams • DEI efforts focused more on social activities (e.g., group outings) than on structural change
