Pros

- ROWE (before they got rid of it) - Great office and location - Nice perks and benefits (again... before they got rid of a lot of things) - Great coworkers

Cons

Just had a big layoff (58 people) with no warning. They pledge transparency but this really came from out of the blue. Even during the recession of 2008 there wasn't a huge layoff, so they must really be in trouble. They laid off an assortment of people, including long timers loyal to the company, PREGNANT women, and women who were on maternity leave/just back from leave. Really shady. They spend money on perks and superficial things to keep employees happy but currently can't figure out how to actually run a successful company. They change direction every year and instead of innovating try to copy what other companies do. Recently just got rid of a ton of perks that made working here bearable including things that have been around for over a decade. Pretty sure it's bad corporate strategy leading to inability to turn a profit, not the fact that we used to have half days before major holidays. I can see taking away things like TripCash, Bonusly, etc, but the half days have been around FOREVER so I can't see how that really is going to make much difference. Again, blaming the wrong things.

Pros

My experience here has been exceptional. The company offers a fantastic work-life balance, a supportive culture, and generous perks, all within a fully remote setup. The team is genuinely caring, and I've found ample opportunities for growth thanks to the ability to rotate teams. I initially planned to stay for a copule years before moving to a big tech company, but I've been so impressed that I've been here for many years and plan to stay longer.

Cons

Since the company operates on a nearly full-remote model, there are fewer opportunities for in-person socialization; however, the option to work from the office is always available for those who want to connect with colleagues. While the compensation is competitive and by no means low, it is important to note that it is less than what's offered by major tech companies, and no stock options are included as part of the compensation package.
