Pros

Company provides good onboarding and training environments which make the new hirers easier to onboard. Team is very supportive including HR and other team department as well.

Cons

Need to be aggressive on learning the tech skills. Since the process is well organized, sometime the job can be managed without knowing details.

Pros

- Great culture at the team level - Talented & generous coworkers - Great managers - Impressive product

Cons

Upper Leadership driving the company into the ground with mismanagement. Talented and very tenured employees are jumping ship. Leadership focused on internal politics and optics. Pushing out leaders who stick their neck out trying to course correct. Reward blind followers. Failing at sales strategy. Micromanaging Product & Engineering causing disfunction to avoid solving the strategy problem.
