Pros

I've worked at company a couple years --great culture focused on knitting (working together); have maintained it well given the wave of growth --all the basic benefits (decent medical/vision, free meals) --lots of potential for the company's success --lots of nice coworkers

Cons

--no 401k matching --ceo lashes out at internal questions around company future/ipo --upper management seems dedicated to friends/early hires; people given random leadership roles that weren't posted for hiring (CTO, Head of Culture) --you're burning through good people by not focusing on personal/career development (T is quite clear that it's not the company responsibility to grow people) --no sense of career advancement; if your role is needed, you're all set; if focus changes, you are disposable

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
