Pros

Amazing team. Challenging work. Good, but frustrated immediate manager.

Cons

Where to start. Most has been said. You and your team will be asked to do more and more year over year without the proper resources to do it, leading to team overload and crappy morale. Unless you are in a favored department you will never get a raise or promotion. There are more VPs, SVPs, and EVPs than you can shake a stick at. Any two of them would pay for at least 5 additional heads on my former team. When I say they don’t care about you, they really don’t care. They will chew you up and spit you out without a second of thought. And don’t, under any circumstance, challenge executive leadership. You will immediately be shown the door.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
