Pros

Started as an amazing culture and company with Core Values and a breakneck pace that hungry career and growth minded employees thrived in. Benefits were robust, career paths attainable, and customer success stories delighted Slack channels. The HR team crushed hiring goals, recruiting and onboarding programs were industry leading. The annual CKO was inspiring, the commitment to contributing to the industry and community was exciting, and the friendships made were plenty (assuming you were not back channeled and on the target lists of the exec team - how dare folks speak up when leaders throw out sexual, racist, and drug laden epithets during meetings and offsites).

Cons

The land of the RIFs. DW was never able to truly build a product roadmap or GTM strategy. Executive after executive has been brought in, and exited, and all failed. Surely this should be a case study for an MBA class. Starting with the annual spend on swag and severance packages compared to product development.

Pros

Working hard to turn around the culture. They are very transparent about past RIFs and future business outlook. Compensation and benefits are great!

Cons

No true onboarding or 30/60/90 day plan. This gives people autonomy to make the role their own, but can be scary since there’s been so many layoffs and not much seems to be documented when you’re a new hire.

Pros

The people here are amazing! I'm surrounded by brilliant team members who lift each other up and help everyone learn. There's also great cross team collaboration. Leadership is communicates openly and honestly and genuinely values employees. There are also ample opportunities to grow your career here. So far, it's been a very refreshing place to work.

Cons

There's no 401k match right now, but leadership seems to recognize the importance of bringing it back and is working to make it happen. Comp is slightly lower than industry peers, but the ability to make a difference in your daily work is valuable.
