Pros

Teammates were incredible, really great collaboration through virtual first, guaranteed work from home was amazing, great benefits, and it's a tech company that makes a product people love instead of something evil. Easily five stars when I joined.

Cons

When I left my team had about 3x the ownership responsibility with 2/3x the team size as when I joined- repeated layoffs churned through institutional knowledge and left a good chunk of those remaining in KTLO hell. Leadership directed a good chunk of staff into an "AI" product no one uses, and those remaining are stuck under awful Amazon-style top-down micromanagement.

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
