Pros
Depending on the team, there are some fantastic teammates you can work with. Incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. For the most part, my peer relationships here were outstanding. The benefits and pay can be on the good end of the spectrum for the industry (sounds like this is changing though). The ability to work with some powerful technology was also exciting.
Cons
Oath is a bureaucratic mess of poor leadership and self-serving values. Navigating the inner workings of actually getting real work done at Oath is akin to running through a rat's maze. Every action or decision was politicized; with other teams and departments at open war with one another- to the point that normal personal relationships across "at war" departments would be scrutinized and questioned. Straightforward decisions on how to benefit our customers were seized by upper managers in attempts to land grab or were slanted to embellish how effective that department was achieving its OKRs. Senior Leadership was deluded to the point of insanity on ensuring that there was a constant slew of "wins" racked up each week, without calling attention to true business problems and missteps. Whenever something DID go awry, leadership would scramble to find any person or team to throw under the bus and absolve themselves of involvement. When asked to provide reporting of how our particular department was contributing to sales objectives, and it didn't show a positive story, I was instructed to "make it up". Worst of all are the constant, deep layoffs that Oath has become infamous for. Multiple times each year, hundreds of employees have been laid off, even after assurances from leadership that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Those laid off are often top performers who simply have become too expensive for the company. Seeing good friends cast aside like that on a recurring basis was sad, demotivating, and created a culture of fear that was impossible to look past. Ultimately I realized that I would never fit in a corporate culture that was fueled by maximizing individual gains at the cost of good customers and employees.
