      The values are just a facade

      Senior product designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Depends on the team and part of the product.

      Cons

      - You only get promoted if you appear to or actually work long hours. - Vocal people who may not even be good at their job get promoted because they are louder. - The OKRs of the design team got in the way of doing actual work as they took valuable time and most times were not useful/used properly (were mostly metrics to push product to prioritise UX). - Reactive instead of proactive research. - Difficult to influence other parts of the product as everyone is busy and has a long backlog. - Async communication sounds nice but most times is difficult and slow (which means late hours if the team is in reverse time zones). - Diversity and inclusion just a pretence not applied to key roles. - If someone is burned out they will kick them out without second thoughts.

      Results focus the only priority. People not important

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote working. Some friendly colleagues. Pay high salaries but for a price.

      Cons

      Disconnect with people, lack of human empathy & people skills from leaders on all levels. Customer results and winning at AI only focus. Underperformance is not tolerated. 'Transparency' value is on a need to know model, buzzword of the year. Many inexperienced managers. Few career opportunities if any. US centric company.
