Pros

- Decent pay ranges - Committed to remote work - Unlimited PTO is taken seriously, plus two mandatory weeks off per year - Direct peers are great people and fantastic to work with

Cons

- Company reputation was thrashed by ads strategy, leadership doesn't care as long as ad dollars are coming in - New CEO has no vision beyond "put AI in everything" - Two large rounds of layoffs, scrambling to figure out how to keep functioning with removal of key employees - Threats and hostility towards remaining ICs - Favoritism is rampant, only certain people are celebrated while the rest are overworked and overlooked - Managers don't serve employees, they just drop demands from leadership on us - Product is way behind competitors as leadership puts us to work on things customers hate instead of things our competitors have done for years - Toxic positivity in all hands meetings is cringy, insulting, lacking transparency

Pros

They started out good in the beginning

Cons

Lots of favoritism People of color don’t progress there Fake diversity and inclusion Most black and brown folks have suddenly disappeared and I’m a white person noticing this HR facilitated the most dangerous and toxic doings of the leaders. People low key disappear and they cover a lot of things up to appear to look good

Toxic and Top Heavy Leadership

Pros

Remote environment Time off for recharge

Cons

Back to back meetings with no time to get work done. Very slow to make decisions. They keep hiring more and more senior executives from large companies without staffing for key junior and mid level roles. Feels like the culture moved from one of accountability and getting things done towards one of just pushing the tactical work to overworked junior people so they can get the spotlight. Back office employees are treated like second class citizens and GTM and Tech are held to a much lower standard and get all the glory. I have never seen a company with so much turnover in HR over the past couple of years and is very concerning. Toxic white male leadership at the top that rule by favoritism vs facts and exclusion vs inclusion no matter what they say they’re doing for diversity. Very fake culture - you have to act like everything is great and that you drank the kool aid or they label you as problematic. They’re not looking to actually improve anything with their culture other than surface things that get them great place to work awards for bragging rights instead of addressing causes for turnover.
