Pros

Wlb is great. There is no pro working here career wise unless you are in yahoo finance or maybe news.

Cons

Its a shitshow. There is no direction. Higher ups are just waiting to retire. Pay is below moderate. 401k is down from 6 to 4%. If its the only offer you have, join. There is no standard onboarding because they hire so less. Also they layoff every few months.

Pros

Everyone is very positive and nice. There's a ton of opportunity to make an impact with the scope and scale each employee is responsible for.

Cons

Product strategy seems frantic and directionless at times, although differs between product teams.
