      Pros

      Incredible colleagues, flexible remote work, and a strong product that genuinely helps teams. The open-source mission is inspiring, and day-to-day collaboration with peers can be energizing when management stays out of the way.

      Cons

      Management culture is toxic and deeply misaligned with the company’s stated values. Gaslighting, favoritism, and lack of psychological safety are common but ignored. Promotions and recognition depend on self-promotion and politics rather than impact or skill. HR protects managers, not employees. Burnout is normalized, and feedback is often weaponized instead of used for growth. The “handbook-first” transparency ends where accountability should begin.
