Pros

Good location, good quality products

Cons

I encountered a toxic work environment that significantly impacted my professional well-being. The lack of open communication and collaboration, coupled with a pervasive sense of negativity, made it challenging to perform at my best. Furthermore, I found the HR department to be less than forthcoming and transparent. Issues raised were often brushed aside, and it became apparent that the HR team lacked the necessary skills to address employees' concerns effectively. This left employees feeling unsupported and undervalued. In addition, the competence of some directors within the company seemed questionable. Decisions were made without a clear understanding of their implications, resulting in a less-than-optimal work atmosphere. I believe it is crucial to share these concerns to encourage improvement within the company. While I recognize that every workplace has its challenges,

Pros

Some nice coworkers on some teams below C-Suite.

Cons

Run far and fast if you get an offer for any type of work here. As many recent reviews (most notably the one from 6/30) note, new tech leadership is incompetent, arrogant, and destructive: slashing budgets and morale, putting the livelihoods of many in jeopardy, and creating a toxic, paranoid and panicked environment. Nothing about this place is good anymore with the current C-Suite involved.

Pros

The product is liked by many.

Cons

The CEO is absentee and not aware (and doesn’t care) about the massive destruction caused by someone she hired to run the technology group. This C-suite person pits employees against each other, playing sadistic games for their own amusement, gaslighting and saying one thing but telling someone else something different. They pretend to work, but spend their time reading employee Slack messages and google drive docs to steal ideas to give to China contractors, to make it look like it’s their idea and pretending the ideas didn’t come from you. Like another reviewer said, this person thinks the company will be them and their friends, with everyone’s job outsourced to AI and China contractors to save money and hide the fact that they have no vision, and no idea how to increase revenue or even stop the bleeding on the current business. They hired all their friends (yes men) who won’t challenge them, and they blindly enforce their ideas. These yes man are not competent and are confused most of the time. Yet, they have prominent positions in the company. This person is rooting out anyone who is competent, so expect the company IQ to be lower than it already is. If you are good at your job, expect to be targeted and harassed by their cronies, or singled out and publicly embarrassed to make this person feel better about themselves. If you decide to work here, CYA, and don’t put anything in Slack you don’t want this person reading. Don’t sign the arbitration agreement, you will likely need a lawyer after a few months. Retain your rights.
