Pros

One of the best companies I’ve worked with! The work culture is super friendly, and the people here are just amazing, always ready to help and make you feel comfortable. You’ll love being part of this team!

Cons

However, there was an unexpected on-the-spot layoff, and unfortunately, most of the product team was affected. It came as a surprise to many, and better communication and planning could have helped ease the situation.

Business Outlook

Pros

discretionary PTO, remote role, good benefits, mostly pleasant people to work with on your teams

Cons

Always short on resources, team members are a mixed bag, some are really good, others don't know what they are doing, senior management is not transparent about recent layoffs and company finances, your career path can be good only if your line manager looks out for you but they switch your LM frequently. High turnover rate so projects end up being a big mess
