Pros

ICs and mid-level managers are usually very intelligent, hard working, and kind.

Cons

I have worked in corporate settings for almost 25 years, and this is the worst leadership team I have ever seen. They are elitist and completely out of touch with market, consumer, and workforce realities. They do not make plans and strategies based on actual data and consumer research but on their own “intuition,” and any employee who points out problems and flaws is retaliated against. It’s gotten to the point that mid-level managers regularly tell their employees not to bring up problems they are experiencing or concerns they have in meetings with senior leadership because the retaliation is so severe, and they want to protect their employees. The company has had a negative eNPS for the last two years, and leadership pawns it off by saying our eNPS is low because the employees don’t understand the questions on the survey. They do a round of layoffs almost every quarter, restructure constantly, and change priorities frequently, so it is very difficult for the remaining employees to be effective in their roles.

Pros

Amazing corporate culture Leadership listened to engineering on tools, technology stack, etc Actual product ownership, including necessary input and control (instead of being told you own a product and then not given the necessary access or tools to maintain it)

Cons

Hiring process involved psychological screening with a lot of implicit bias, almost like an IQ test. On the plus side, I've been told they discontinued its use after that was pointed out.

Pros

You have kind co-workers and good benefits.

Cons

The strategic direction is unclear for many parts of the business. There is not enough transparency around hiring decisions - including who is still with the company and where there are opportunities for growth.
