Pros

Amazing colleagues and benefits. Felt like a family. Originally had lots of growth opportunities but things seem to be changing…

Cons

Very unstable. Layoffs every quarter or more. Traumatizing when you are working your hardest and putting your all into your work and they still lay you off. Upper management doesn’t have much visibility into what people are actually doing.

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
