Pros

- Summer & holiday party - Innovative products - Good employees

Cons

- Very very poor senior leadership at the org, tech, HR and product levels (snap decisions made that massively affect employees wellbeing with very little notice) - very "big brother" - checking door logs to ensure compliance with return to office requirements - very few standards in the product org (again poor leadership) - PMs have very little control over their own roadmaps - Communication distribution is terrible. Different messages are heard from different leaders.

Pros

The office space is nice. The work is interesting.

Cons

The leadership team doesn't know how to manage people. They also hate dissenting opinions. Yes-men are the types to succeed. This leads to dysfunction and bad decision-making. They also don't help employees resolve problems. As you can guess, turnover is high. Pay and benefits are low for tech too. The work perks are poor for tech too. They also rely too much on contractors. It's not a tech company but a retail company using tech, so don't expect to create a lot of impact if you are in a technical role.

Pros

- Good salary - Nice office with a well equipped kitchen

Cons

This place is one of the worse companies I've ever worked for. They overwork you and choose favs to move up the corporate ladder without proving their skills or performance (it's literally their first jobs). If you can sweet talk them into saying what they want to hear, you're going to do well without actually knowing anything. Inexperienced, unknowledgeable leadership who don't know anything are trying to lead juniors and have them figure things out. Our particular director makes all the juniors write performance reports and gives her a "talk track" to read through during her exec meetings. Is it really their job and are they qualified for it? No! But that person has no idea what they're doing, they need it to keep their job. This place is stressful, and you are always working in fear, waiting for the next performance pop quiz to come. There is a culture of interrogation when things don't go well instead of solving problems and strategizing. Directors and senior managers will throw everyone below them under the bus to save themselves. Don't fall for their corporate propaganda. They pretend to be performance driven and knowledgeable but actually don't know what they're doing. They say fancy words to make them sound smart. If you are good at your job coming in, you'll see through their BS. They will never let you thrive if you go against them. There is a crazy culture of back to back meetings all day every day with the expectation that you're working and thinking time falls outside of your work hours (evenings and weekends). Run far away.
