Pros

- Great people - Company really cares about their employee's happiness (halloween events, bring your dog to work, etc)/ Fun work atmosphere

Cons

- Not very challenging work - Discourages mobility within the company - "In crowd" vs. "out crowd" (out crowd is shunned) - They push you to vote for them to be one of the best companies in the bay area.

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
