Pros

- Strong vision, brilliant products and colleagues, customers that change the world every day. - International teams and projects make for a very diverse and stimulating work environment -- a unique place to constantly grow and learn. - An engaging group of collaborators, great offices and remote work options globally. - Unique leadership that recognizes talent, efforts and motivates the group to achieve. - Strong commitment to core values, employee well-being, respect and growth. - Very competitive compensation and benefits. Best HR department ever! - Easy expenses process, prompt payment, no ambiguities.

Cons

- Depending on your position and the projects that you're involved with, you may have to travel frequently and extensively. - International collaboration can require meetings at odd hours for some. - Lots of turnover in sales department makes business continuity difficult in some accounts, can be discouraging to some. On the upside, misfits don’t last and teams are strong.

Pros

There WERE great people who worked there. But wow, they are dropping like flies. “Unlimited” PTO

Cons

Benefits are weak, pay is way below industry for engineers. Leadership is literally ripping out entire departments from the top down.A VP is fired, the new person starts, the new person fires the entire team and replaces it with their own people. A person will be let go and days later the replacement will start. It has impacted so many departments and isn’t stopping any time soon. I’ve already seen it happen in Product/engineering, Finance, HR, Recruiting and other outlying departments. Most people I’m aware of are actively looking because they know the goal is to basically rebuild the company with all new people. It’s chaotic, it’s toxic, RUN!
