Pros
Friendly coworkers, good work life balance, fight climate change, unlimited PTO
Cons
Executive leadership keeps turning over, especially CPOs (we've had two in the past two years). CEO doesn't value being product-led, and the entire product/eng organization is dealing with constant whiplash. Leadership is clearly really burned out, and unfortunately the main way to grow your career/title is to show you can stay above constant turbulence and untangle work silos. We keep acquiring companies, but once they join, the integration plan is messy and uncoordinated. Not a great place to do product design work; nobody is focused on improving the end user experience, so it's difficult to work on meaningful projects that you're proud of. We rarely talk to customers too, which feels like a crucial missing piece of the product process. Lack of empathetic and transparent communications from leadership. We did a round of layoffs in October, and the CEO and new president spent most of it talking about how they're great leaders, which was tone-deaf. Execs will just gloss over bad news and repeat the same speech about how we're doing so great and how there's endless potential, but you learn to realize it's empty words, especially since they're so far removed from everyday work. tl;dr: Not the right place to work on exciting, meaningful products. Honestly, stay away. You'll realize within a couple of weeks that a lot of people are burned out and have low morale.
