Pros

- The people are awesome. I genuinely enjoy and have so much fun with the people I work with. Makes working remotely a lot easier, although you do have office options if you live in a hub! - Leadership tries to be as transparent as possible, which is refreshing coming from another big tech company. - Little corporate BS, and company values high execution and getting rid of all of the fluff as much as possible - So many opportunities to learn new things and stretch your skillset. Critical for folks that are still early in their careers! - Benefits are so amazing. Hard to compare to other companies.

Cons

- Classic startup cons, but work life balance can definitely struggle at times. I think we're pretty transparent about that though during interviews so folks know what they're signing up for! - Diversity at senior leadership could be way better, specifically for women and POCs. - Not a super clear career growth path, but there are always opportunities to learn new things and get involved in new projects.

Pros

Strong culture, leadership really encourages feedback and listens/acts. I feel very supported by my manager and loyal to the company and the mission

Cons

Whatnot is all-consuming sometimes, but none of the work feels like a waste of time like at other companies

Pros

Good healthcare and good benefits.

Cons

Increasingly corporate culture Benefits slowly being rolled back every year Must use PTO for any holidays you want off as Ops agent/specialist Utter lack of leadership. Revolving door of managers because they refuse to promote internally for years Repetitive, dull work Toxic work culture. Very petty people in management who don’t accept anything but yes men Virtually no training established and hardly any SOPs written. What little there are of both are very poorly executed (aka people brand new to the work doing the training) No upward mobility whatsoever Arbitrary pay scales and performance reviews not necessarily aligned with performance or tenure. Disclaimer: experience entirely dependent on what team you’re on. Avoid T&R like the plague.
