Pros

Good salary, pretty decent benefits, great coworkers, you get to work in tech and genuinely make people's lives better.

Cons

It's a total mess of a company. Some divisions seemed to be better run than others, but senior management is a rat king of incompetent buffoons and opportunists who have no interest in doing anything that resembles leadership. They wasted god knows how much money on a Mavericks sponsorship, an insanely expensive agency for a rebrand, and flying 2 Chainz out for the holiday party just to have mass layoffs a few months later.

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.
