Pros

- the community and product - wonderful colleagues - wonderful ERGS and people partners - interesting projects - remote friendly

Cons

- starting in management and going upwards, things do not feel good - completely agree with the other 1-2 stare reviews, feels like a toxic relationship, culture is poor, leadership decisions can cause high churn for often unclear gain, not a good work-life-balance - poor empathy from leadership and management downwards. harsh occurrences of colleagues being managed out, asked to quit, or fired and issues announcing departures with appropriate teams. poor feedback loops and poor coaching from management. - poor career growth, especially compared to other top tech companies. the performance review system is still pretty new
