      Good values but questionable interpretation

      Pros

      You can learn more about yourself and how much you're willing to endure. You learn about being a better advocate for yourself.

      Cons

      Instant feedback could be good, if it doesn't become petty. It's taught to not be emotional but most of the time, it's all emotional.

      Pros

      Amazing benefits Amazing pay REALLY smart people Very little to zero politics due to the workplace culture of transparency Performance reviews, promotion decisions, etc. are all recorded and shared with the company, so there is no second guessing about why a career outcome resulted the way it did. There's a no BS approach to feedback - if someone messed up, tell them and figure out why. You are never left to guess if you did well, or if your work was well-received. The company seems to have become more consensus-driven since the migration away from Ray (the founder). This was to be expected given the shift from a founder-run company to an employee-owned company.

      Cons

      It's not for the weak-stomached. If straightforward feedback induces anxiety, this would not be a healthy work environment for you. D&I is something that is constantly talked about at the senior leadership level, but the company still struggles to resolve, particularly in the technology area. Hoping to see continued improvement here (and optimistic about it).
