Pros

The CEO has genuine vision and is compelling in small settings. Some very talented and committed people across the org.

Cons

The culture has serious structural problems. Layoffs are reframed as reorgs with little transparency — you find out through rumors or after the fact. Strategy shifts constantly; product direction changes monthly, making it hard to build anything durable or advance your career in a meaningful direction. Career growth is real only if you’re in a high-visibility area and willing to self-promote aggressively. Doing good work quietly doesn’t move the needle. Credit-taking and territorial behavior are rewarded over collaboration. Leadership tone is a problem. The CEO has publicly berated employees during all-hands meetings, which creates a culture of fear that trickles down. People learn to stay quiet rather than raise real issues.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits and great office.

Cons

Poor hiring decisions, recent layoffs eliminated mostly remote employees because they are prioritizing in office employees, especially with recent investment in office. RIF was not at all based on performance which meant that some in office employees who don't know what they are doing got to keep their job. You have to suck up to management to get promoted and a lot of really good reps leave as a result of constant micro-management.
