Pros

Some of the people, but only some...

Cons

Where to begin? This is by far the most toxic work environment I have ever been involved in. 1. Decided it was now a 'high performance culture' company, then proceeded to lay off all high performers 2. Entire US based support/operations/investigations/QA teams were laid off for cheap labor overseas (your personal identifiable information is now available to entire call centers in the Philippines) 3. Spouts a "fair chance mission" then laid off damn near every single fair chance employee once they got their use out of them by rolling them out at events and on billboards to tell other companies how they should hire 4. Fair chance program was obviously for tax breaks 5. Severance packages were a disgrace. Advertised as "10-18 weeks" however 8 weeks of this they had to give by law, due to the WARN policy. So in reality it was 2-10 weeks. 10 weeks for some folks who had given 7+ years... 6. No career growth whatsoever. It doesn't matter if you're the top performer in the entire company, you will not be rewarded with a pay rise or a promotion. Those died out a few years ago when they realized it would cost money to reward high performance. 7. CFO doesn't seem to know much about finance, which is ironic. Sets goals 75-100% higher than $'s made in the previous FY, then blames economic headwinds for the TERRIBLE forecasting. Definitely comes across as someone who invested in an NFT......... 8. Vanity projects/products need to stop. In the past 2+ years SO many new products have been rolled out then pulled back because no customers asked for them, and therefore didn't buy them 9. Core product (that made you a 'unicorn') has long been forgotten about, left to deteriorate while your competitors all out maneuver you

Pros

Good health insurance, almost free

Cons

Poor/no raises Culture feedback from employees has been on a straight decline, and issues have not been addressed by leadership. Went through 4 managers in the past year, and during that time, have seen many colleagues randomly laid off or canned with no backfilling, increasing workload on remaining workers Unclear path to IPO

Pros

- OK initial compensation if joined before 2022

Cons

- Incompetent and idiotic leadership - Since 2024 started multitudes of programs to agitate workers across the board to quit, to avoid layoffs/severance - Rapidly decreasing QoL such as reducing workers benefits and increasing costs (commute, parking, daycare) - Zero long-term career prospect, stingy when it comes to promotions, merit increases fall way behind of inflation - RSUs are fake monopoly money to boost compensation perception, no realistic plan to go IPO ever -Implemented RTO as a form of silent layoffs, 33% RIF shortly after -Gradually outsourcing its US workforce -Performance does not matter, only politics
