Pros

- free product you get from testing

Cons

- 0 work/life balance. Expected to answer emails, calls, and texts at all times of the day - no regard for your personal life: Expected to take 10pm calls that you’re told about at 4pm/expected to take 7am calls you’re told about at 6pm. - management changes their mind on the daily and will yell at you (yes, yell at you) for things that are not your fault - truly ridiculous timelines. You don’t have time to do your work, or even think - often triple booked in meetings and somehow expected to be at all of them and paying attention - no training at all but you’re expected to just know what to do even though there is no documentation or process to follow - VP+ are most jerks, everyone below is trauma bonded - you think the comp is good until you actually calculate your hourly rate and realize it’s terrible and not worth it

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.
