Pros

Solid growth trajectory with a mission that makes sense, pretty good benefits package, some truly awesome colleagues who make work worthwhile

Cons

Pay is below what you'd get elsewhere for the same work (probably means internal equity is nonexistant), promotion decisions often feel based on favoritism/tenure rather than merit, there's a growing trust issue from lack of transparency, some leaders don't seem qualified for their positions, lots of talk about culture but actions don't match the words, CEO feels traditional and uninspiring, company's becoming more corporate and less innovative, too many decisions made at the top with little input from people doing the actual work, KPIs often miss the mark and don't measure what actually matters nor incentives the right behaviors we want like collaboration, employee feedback (including NPS scores) feels like it gets ignored, leaders aren't always right and can make mistakes but it seems like there's no admittance to that.

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.
