Pros

Smart, helpful and friendly co-workers. Small teams grant tons of autonomy with very low process/meeting burden. Great technology platform and platform teams provide massive leverage, so you can concentrate on solving just your business problem rather than figure out many technical problems. Leadership is good- to-great across the board. Senior leadership especially continue to impress with their level of engagement and transparency. Has retained much of its small company flexibility while growing steadily. Steady growth provides lots of opportunities to grow a career. Great health plan Solid compensation

Cons

401(k) match is small and hasn't been adjusted in years. New dental plan has poor network, particularly for remote employees. Currently seems to be disappointing many. While increase in health insurance deductible responsibility this year from nothing to $500 was small, it makes it much more time consuming to figure out which bills need paying vs having the HRA pay. Can feel very big some times.

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.
