Pros

I have worked in a dozen software places over the past 40 (!) years, and this is the best environment I have ever worked in. * Trusting environment: People can share their REAL concerns with managers. We're not penalized for missing deadlines - it's understood, for the most part, that we're all doing the best we can. * Safe environment: people can and do share deeply personal challenges like addictions, depression and challenges with prejudice, right on dedicated public Slack channels; There are active groups for promoting several types of Inclusivity. * One team: most of us, in product and engineering, see ourselves as a cooperative group: people will stop what they are doing, if they can, to help you. * Flexibility: As an engineer, I can work whatever hours work for me. In 2024, we are asked to be in the office for at least part of the day, 3 days/week

Cons

The stock is not doing well in 2024.

Pros

The people. My peers in marketing are experienced, fun, and whip-smart. Colleagues, even those long gone, have continued to be supportive of one another in ways I've not seen at other companies. The networking is amazing. Although it may also be trauma bonding.

Cons

Marketing is always the scapegoat here and will always get hit hard when there are layoffs. In early summer 2025 they laid off nearly the entire product marketing team - from 26 people to 2- and "replaced" them with AI. Morale never recovered, the messaging has never been clearly communicated since then, and the worst part is CEO Henry Schuck went on a podcast to brag about it. Talk about out of touch. In the entire time I worked there, marketing leadership was sorely lacking. There has never been clear direction. This is still a problem with the new CMO, who is both heavily involved at a micro level and yet opaque about important things the whole department should know. And now the constant trimmings... Er, layoffs... no -- "exits" -- have gotten even more extreme. We're just wholesale replacing standard, strategic marketing positions and even teams with agencies. Which is quite a look for a billion dollar company. It might be worth it to work here for 6 months or a year if you can manage for the experience and connections, but the constant strategic switch-ups and looming inevitability of layoffs will wear you down. And soon you'll be looking for an escape route so you can say "you can't lay me off, I quit."
