Pros

- Ramp period - Remote work - Kind colleagues

Cons

It’s disappointing to see how far this company has strayed from what it once was. On the surface, it presents itself as a great place to work, but behind the scenes, it’s a different story. There’s constant micromanagement, minimal guidance on how to effectively adopt and use the platform, and no real sense of balance or support. Turnover is incredibly high, and it shows, as there’s always someone new starting as others quietly exit. I saw many talented people undervalued and pushed out, not because they lacked the skills, but because the environment made it near impossible to succeed. It could be so much better if people were truly supported and empowered.

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.
