Pros

You'll get lots of experience scrambling for answers and lieing about how bad things are. If you can lie about something long enough it'll become someone elses problem. You'll be surrounded in good company if you're looking to try and mask your deep rooted emotional or spousal problems. Compensation is high enough that you'll be able to buy your wife and kids nice things to make them forget that you're never around.

Cons

The culture here is absolute garbage. Management and HR constantly spew that they are working on having a positive impact on the lives of both employees and customers, but it's patently false. I'm not alone, which is why the turnaround is 2 years. I've been in exec meetings where they start screaming and yelling and take their shoe off and bang it on the table. One of the most frequent questions asked is "How are you going to get me what I want?" which sounds exactly like my 5 year old niece. People here have very little desire to make great products here. People only care about looking good. Their not only encouraged, but also rewarded for stabbing you and using your body for a leg up to climb corporate hierarchy.

Pros

Impactful work from Day 1 and a great learning experience

Cons

If you are not in the headquarter office, you may miss out on some networking opportunities but the early talent team do their best in providing as many opportunities as possible.

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.
