Pros

Remote work, kind people. Great PTO.

Cons

Rats leaving off of a sinking ship. Product Management team decimated. Entire management chains empty because of attrition. Unforgiving expectations for employees. Constant executive-created emergencies in the name of AI, so the CEO can make bank when he sells us off. AI, AI, AI...which our own AI is terrible. Pay below par. Benefits mediocre

Pros

Family and friends day monthly. Learning and development $10,000 spend per year. Employee stock program. Discretionary bonus. Provided company laptop with 3 year refresh.

Cons

Cool handbook but no one actually lives by the values. Very cult-like and people try too hard to flex knowledge without being helpful. Async culture is used when convenient but tons of meetings throughout the workday which makes it hard to get any real work done. Lower pay than companies of equivalent size.
