Pros

Random days off and bonuses given at team meetings, remote work, and the ability to get involved in lots of different projects

Cons

LOTS of recent high level departures such as our most senior product designer, director of engineering, HR and recruiting. It makes me worried that so many people are leaving. Also, there is a big tech bro culture here. The OG's want to drink and hang out with each other, but it doesn't seem inclusive to others who don't share those interests or feel safe partaking during covid. Also, our business strategy is really confusing and unclear, but for the most part, I can still do my day to day without getting to caught up with that.

Pros

It used to be great

Cons

Leadership thinks AI is the great answer to everything. AI is the excuse to lay off literally 100 of the 140 people in one year! Those who are "lucky" enough to keep their job are just punished to absorb all the extra work. Constant whiplash of where the company is going. Every few months it changes from quality products and less volume to we'll sell everything without any human eyes needed for approval. AI will do it all Again, they laid off 100 of 140 people in a year
