      Going downhill

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most people I work with are wonderful: good collaboration, willing to spend time helping each other, and genuinely care about the mission of economic empowerment. Company has good compensation, especially for being remote friendly. They also nail being "remote first" in terms of how meetings are set up, async collaboration standards, regular team gatherings, etc.

      Cons

      Unfortunately the last couple years have featured big layoffs and aggressive performance management, which has heavily targeted ICs, while leaving top leadership untouched. Culture has gone downhill and is increasingly feeling political and toxic with teams fighting over scope. The company is going all in on AI - all engineers are expected to use the tools constantly and their AI token usage and PR counts are being tracked in dashboards. The most unfortunate part is that in the frenzy of chasing AI trends, leadership has completely lost touch with what customers and small business users want and need.

      Good comp for remote, that's about it.

      Pros

      comp wlb (team dependent) benefits

      Cons

      Stack ranking for performance management is a huge drain on morale. What it used to take to get to get promoted is the bare minimum to keep your job (and that isn't even enough it turns out). Leadership constantly pivots priorities. No clear product direction whatsoever. Limited growth opportunities. No one above L6 ever leaves the company because it's a high paying remote job, so might as well coast until you're asked to leave.
