Pros

- Not super micromanagey culture unless you get stuck with a micromangey manager - good pay + stocks - interesting work - easy to jump teams - nice managers for the most part and peers - i had good work life balance as long as u get ur work done u can choose ur hours

Cons

- a lot of approvals needed to get work completed. You need to make everyone happy in order to ship something and that takes alot of work and most of your day is in meetings or prepping for these meetings instead of just doing the work. - reorgs happen often - the vibes were not great in the creative function.

Pros

Some really good people, generally. There's far more camaraderie than enthusiasm for the product or the company's direction. It's less "we believe in the mission" and more "we're all just getting through this together."

Cons

Middle and senior management have virtually no control over the constantly shifting "priority of the day" handed down by leadership. Teams are expected to abandon work and pivot without question, often because of reactive decisions that lack clear strategic direction. The culture is driven by fear. Everyone knows the axe is always hanging overhead, and people can be let go without warning or explanation. One day they're there; the next they're gone. That uncertainty has become an accepted part of working here.
