Pros

- Nice people to work with - Great product

Cons

Summary: It is a big joke. Tl;DR; - New CEO is Adam Cahan, this profile needs updating - Constant misalignment with senior executives and board members - Senior executives are mostly hand wavy and political in their responses to employee's honest feedback or questions and no action is ever taken to fix that - Too many cooks in the kitchen such as product and program management rather than having enough people to do the job - Some teams are overstaffed and protected well by their super chill self-entitled executives vs some teams are constantly struggling and their staffing needs are never met as CFO of this company prefers bragging about saving the burn rate than taking risks in R&D, and this is causing unhappiness in junior employees needing help to grow - The above is causing a culture of finger pointing, blame, and low moral - Work/life balance is non existent - Initiatives start and people work on them hard for a few month soon to find out some executive decided to kill the project - Smart people are being driven away every day and those who are staying are just liking the people who they work with rather than caring for the company's mission - The way work is currently being done is by CEO going to every team's meeting, micromanaging them, and asking the same question from a dozen people to see who gets him what he wants fast. Brilliant leadership ... pun intended.

Pros

I’ve had a really positive experience working here. From day one, everyone has been welcoming and helpful, and I’ve always felt supported by my team. The people are great to work with, and there is a strong sense of connection across the company. I’ve also had opportunities to learn, grow, and take on projects that have a clear purpose.

Cons

Things can move quickly, so priorities may shift from time to time. It keeps the work interesting and provides opportunities to learn.
