Pros

LEARNING. co-workers, engaged leadership, resources, humble, self-aware, appropriately paranoid.

Cons

It can be an echo-chamber, you can definitely feel the screws tightening on budgets as the whole company focuses more closely on the stock price.

Thanks for your review, and I promise to read your feedback both here and in the ENPS--Dharmesh reads them all too, so you have both of our eyes on both at a bare minimum! I am also happy people continue to push on D&I--it's the right thing for our business but also for our mission to help millions of companies grow better--to do so we need a team as diverse as our customer base. I also would agree on life-work fit--we have an interesting intersection between autonomy and flexibility there, so we always have to find a balance. Thanks as always for the feedback, keep it coming, and thank you so much for all that you do! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
