Pros

Compensation is definitely above market. Some great people who work there, but probably not for much longer. Benefits are decent.

Cons

Where do I start? Zero work life balance. Product teams work around the clock only to be told their hard work is being trashed or changed, so stay up again all night and do it differently. And then you present the work you stayed up all night working on only to be told it's crap and do it a different way again. Zero support from most managers who just follow bizarre and nonsensical requests of the Marks. No one seems to want to address and change the dysfunctional culture, when it's brought up the response is, it's not that bad work harder. Or work on another breakthrough, yeah that will fix it. No one receives any appreciation for their work. And the reviews about the Senior Leadership and HR strong arming people into writing positive reviews is 100% accurate. The truth is, everyone here is MISERABLE!

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.
