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.

Pros

Work-life balance is good. Pay is great.

Cons

Company is slow when it comes to developing new features. Management does not focus on customer needs but hallucinates in their own world that.

Pros

Good management at the time, really cool team everyone very easy to get on with. Product sells quite well naturally.

Cons

The training was very average it was more of a spray and pray culture whereby you either sank or swam and were expected to figure it out yourself. Managers were helpful in so far as they could be.
