Pros

Compensation is at or near top of market for many roles. Coworkers are generally nice and helpful.

Cons

Company is run terribly. Seems like it never "grew up" and matured from an earlier era. The CEO is a 2010s "tech bro" who doesn't live in 2020s reality. No coherent strategy. Very chaotic operationally. Culture is cutthroat (depending on team) and general "vibes" are just plain bad. Employees have no trust in company leadership, and leadership doesn't seem to trust its employees either. Feels like everyone is always trying to leave and find something better at a different company - high turnover. Also, career growth opportunities are limited.

Pros

Great work environment with great benefits and talented team

Cons

Saw significant rounds of layoffs during my time there. Leadership's long-term vision feels unclear. The CEO would benefit from having a different product design team around him to help give him a more clear strategic direction.
