Pros

Some of the kindest, most grounded, and talented people I've worked with, both ICs and managers. The work-life balance was solid and the benefits were good.

Cons

Frequent leadership turnover and ongoing layoff concerns created uncertainty. Compensation was below market, with low bonus percentages for ICs and minimal pay increases.

Pros

Work remote; pay; flex time off. Neat product design ecosystem and the design system looks good in a portfolio. It seemed like things were improving with how goals were set and worked towards. While the design team existed, the culture was at first good then turned sour due to the constant threats of layoffs, lack of promotion, and limited raises.

Cons

Constant layoffs; every time a new C-level came in heads would roll. There were 4 different heads of product and 4 CTOs in the few years I worked there. Very concerning for any company. Goals constantly changing... no or very limited growth on the career ladder for designers. The design team no longer exists here. If they are hiring for this role, they have realized their mistake and are clambering to rebuild. Take this lack of stability into consideration when you negotiate your offer.
