Pros

Great place to work. Awesome product that brings families together. Great family person job.

Cons

I had a VP not from Engineering trying to come in and make Engineering calls. Lots of overstepping. Marketing and UX have the heaviest hand. Sometime Engineers are not respected and told to not bring up topics that make Marketing and Design members upset.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
