Pros

Remembering COVID stock price makes me smile and being THE leader in Gartner MQ

Cons

We’ve been in what feels like a hiring freeze since late 2022 w/ exception of key roles. Hiring has slowed down drastically across all teams. Yet P&C keeps hiring? How does it make sense to hire additional recruiters when we just laid off 177+ people in March? This was after the layoffs in November 2022. What roles are they hiring for? Seems like a joke at this point. Too many siloed teams within P&C that didn’t need to be built out just yet. Focus on growing teams that make an impact to the products, sales, growth etc first.

Pros

The pay and ESOP is good

Cons

Toxic management structure. Unnecessary archaic practices. Employee feedback is not at all considered by the upper management. If you get a bad manager, there is nothing more you can do.
