Worst company I've worked for thus far

Pros

Good remuneration package, nice office

Cons

Scope creep, one role handles job of multiple roles: technical support + sales + solutions + customer success + provisioning Disillusioned management, will throw employees under the bus, "anything for the customer" is the mindset. Internal knowledge base is a joke, unclear processes while being pressured to increase productivity and efficiency.

Pros

It was a decent company to work for until they decided to claim AI forced them to lay off 20% of the company. This was a clear cost cutting layoff. Senior employees let go, junior ones kept.

Cons

They have proved themselves to be greedy like every other company. They need to change the slogan from building a better internet to anything for a buck.

Pros

Very interesting and engaging work. Lots of smart people work there so you will learn a lot. It's place to learn industry best practices. Stock usually performs well so compensation is pretty good if you live in cheaper areas like Austin.

Cons

Stressful at times. On-call can be rough. Product demands can be rough. Lots of pressure to ship new things even if mounds of tech debt exist and make shipping riskier, all just to meet customer contract commitment deadlines. Detailed testing and vetting of new features could improve too. I think the comp is less sustainable for more expensive places like New York and SF
