      Amazing place to work overall

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great product and a high bar for talent.

      Cons

      Company has gone way overboard on its handbook and "dogfooding" the product - leading to a lot of bloated process and inefficiency. Volatile stock price.

      In decline

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Opportunity to work in an all remote setting on a popular developer focused product

      Cons

      * During my time there, I noticed a shift away being Product/Eng focused company to a Sales driven one. As a result, product and engineering have become a support function to Sales. The product culture has declined under the current CPO. * Limited opportunities for career growth and to work on new projects * Inexperienced middle management (Group and Director levels) results in rampant micromanagement and overemphasis on specific ways of working (that are non-industry standard) over results * While Diversity is one of their values, 'diversity of thought' is discouraged. For example, management is not receptive to ideas that employees may have from previous work experience and instead doubles down on processes that don't work
