Pros
- some really hard working IC's across the business - pay was decent but given you had to work 60+ hours per week to meet the expectations of leadership, it wasn't great
Cons
- leadership, leadership, leadership. From the top down, the company is led by individuals with large egos who love pushing the message that "Fetch isn't for everyone". The CEO desperately tries to get people to believe he's this tech visionary... dude, you created a rewards app that barely works, you're not Zuckerberg. This was perfectly shown by his spending of $20 million on a super bowl ad that had no measurable impact on MAU's for the platform. Yes we saw a spike in sign ups, but leadership never actually did anything to get value from those sign ups. - Surrounding the CEO are a gaggle of "yes men" (and women) who only exist to stroke his ego and make the lives of the IC's in their reporting chain more difficult - The people team is completely ineffective, they know that what they are doing is wrong and yet they continue to do it because no one, especially the head of people has the spine to stand up for what's right - Don't get me started on one particular member of the the engineering leadership team, although they all have areas they need to improve in, but the woman I have in mind is one of the most disorganized, angry, and bitter people I have ever met. This typically wouldn’t bother me, but it bleeds into the work she does and how she collaborates with others. I still don't understand what she does outside of making mountains out of mole hills. - The company operates in a way that will almost certainly get them fined for being out of compliance with regulatory standards. This is a fact and it’s often been said that “compliance is a bad word”. - The big push for AI by non technical leaders is laughable. The people team thinks they are leading the charge in AI adoption but I'd be surprised if anyone on the recruiting team knows how to open a pdf - From what I've heard, new leaders were brought into the people team from Meta and they cleared house of anyone who didn't also come from Meta. Good job building the echo chamber! - promotions are non existent unless you are friendly with the right people - leadership in eng will actively acknowledge certain people are a detriment to the culture and then do nothing about it - I honestly can't keep typing, I'd be here for 5 years telling you all about the issues this place has. - RUN don't walk away from this place
