      Great place to work, some worry about recent changes.

      Pros

      Some of the best people I've worked with. It is really nice to work in a place where people don't compete with one another and are willing to help you out even if it is outside their normal area.

      Cons

      Starting to be some cracks in the culture. Allegations of discrimination and retaliation. More secrets being kept. Some hamfisted changes by HR to the review process. Google is struggling to keep its culture as it changes

      Pros

      Great benefits. Mostly great managers. Talented coworkers. Good culture that tries to make things better, with leaders that take action to try to make things better.

      Cons

      It's a big company. Not all parts/teams/people are good. It can be hard to "assume good intent" when interacting with people you do not know across the company. It can be hard to get things done because the company is so big that you have to find your own roadmap.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, work from anywhere, stay up-to-date with the trends, ability to gain styling experience.

      Cons

      Their new pay model is awful. At first it was great as I was in the Platinum tier. Then I dropped to Gold, and now I'm struggling in the Silver tier. There are two more tiers below Silver - I can only imagine what they're making per message. I make a conscious effort to style the client by their specific needs - yet my pay or tier does not reflect my work. Pods are always empty - I can style about 3 clients/hr on a good day with this new pay model. I worked for 6 hrs yesterday and made $39 - absolutely terrible. The system is supposed to catch if you've sent items before, sometimes it doesn't and you send the client an item they've already disliked. This system fault leads to stylists' failures.
