A sad decline in almost everything

Pros

The people and the colleagues were the most valuable aspect of the experience, because you encountered skilled individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and countries, and you established rapport and acquired knowledge almost every single day that you were working. This refers to colleagues below the managerial and executive positions.

Cons

The company rapidly deteriorated in almost every aspect. The upper echelon consisted of the usual suspects who were evidently unsuitable for their roles, especially when they exhibited such a lack of connection and reliability in demonstrating and delivering clear, concise, and visible leadership skills. The entire leadership team was fragmented, alienated from each other and from the employees, and some people attained those positions mainly because manager A favored person B and granted them a promotion rather than people ascending to a management position based on merit (being a manager is one thing, a leader is another, and the latter was sorely deficient at Dashlane). Communication about changes was consistently poor, every single week there was a different plan for the products, plans, and the company, so the strategy was chaotic and inconsistent, they rewarded the employees that they were friends with and not the ones working harder and contributing more, and, on top of it all, they lied flagrantly to your face - which was a blatant disregard for a person's intelligence. The same month they dismissed multiple people in one area, due to "not being able to have as many people in those roles", they recruited half a dozen people for the exact same roles! And later they intended to introduce AI to replace otherwise people-oriented positions and projects. So ask yourself if you really want to expend your effort working for a company that cannot even adhere to its own philosophy of "transparency", and where "we're a family" supersedes actual communication, quality, on top of a dysfunctional leadership team that is sinking the ship rapidly. I certainly would never endorse working here to anyone. Especially with the pay not even being competitive anymore.

Pros

1) Dashlane offers a 4months paternity leave for all parents ; 2) you can work 100% remotely (might be subject to change) ; 3) some people are great and you can learn a ton from them.

Cons

1) Leadership is fundamentally inadequate to the company stakes and culture, bending it into a micro-managerial nightmare where whatever the executive in the room will say is the absolute truth - until it changes two weeks later. Communication-wise, the company went from an era of transparency to the daily lies, omissions and evasive answers. 2) The managerial culture at large makes it a nightmare to even pursue the littlest of tasks or project ; more time is spent making an executive-level presentation or summary than actually working with your team or on an actual projects. The entire managing floor is either entirely disconnected from the work their team do, totally incapable of carrying any load, or invisible (... or all of the options). 3) The career path is essentially broken outside of the tech organization ; managers will 9 times out of 10 be outsiders rather than internally promoted, and in the good scenarios, the promotion will be based on anything but the actual performance of the teams. 4) The culture has sunk within the last 12 months, surprisingly corresponding to a part renewal of the executive team. The company is not even the human, friendly place it was, and became a battlefield for politics and egos fighting over pieces of roadmaps and lazy strategies, desperately trying to have the last word in all conversations. This has translated into a meeting-centric culture, where fifteen minutes of discussion will systematically grow into back to back to back hour meetings with ever growing audiences, with its load of presentations, politics and change of turns involved, all of that in an anyway completely useless process since the decision will be made in a dark room between a few executives and will cascade down to you later. 5) The HR function at large is a tremendous joke, with its last few human members left or remote, and an absolute life-or-death power regarding (inexistant) promotions and raises. Dashlane is a paradigmatic example of a company that went from struggling to scale while maintaining its core values and identity to a company that barely survives and will sacrifice its most essential people to live another day. It went from being led with integrity and vision to being ruled by an inane executive team who will lie to your face. Unless you want to work for a company where you'll see no colleagues, be micro-managed by a lieutenant of an executive, spend hours a day in Zoom meetings that you shouldn't even be in, deal with some zombies who have stopped working five years ago but still hold some power in their grasp to move the littlest of rocks, you should probably find somewhere else.
