Pros

-The other employees are all really great. There is a shared sense of camaraderie in the suffering -Good Transparency from C-Suite - Stable Work - Regular Team Building and Celebration Events -They really seem to mean well and recognize that there are issues that need to be fixed

Cons

-The pay is abysmal. Any of the other benefits are not worth what they will ask of you for what they are paying -No opportunities for growth. No annual raise. -Any employee outside of the headquarters in San Francisco is functionally ignored by Leadership. No job growth outside of the San Francisco Office -Leadership is obsessed with returning to office and actively disparages employees who choose to work remotely -Middle management truly is an inefficient nightmare -No cross organizational vision or management -Business systems and architecture are outdated and inefficient -Onboarding was a disaster; very little support for new employees

Pros

- Managers say all the right and politically correct things. - Hires out of school and gives you opportunity in positions you won't get elsewhere. - Benefits, bonuses, training, opportunity to experiment with technology. - Products are actually very good. HW is excellent.

Cons

- Feature factory where everyone makes a mess and nobody cleans up. - Projects/features often end with quarter and are not further maintained. - Projects are done for completion credit and promotion, not for quality. - Compliance with internal unwritten rules is the only way to get rewarded. - Official rules for rewards and promotions are impossible to achieve, giving managers all the say by defining lower acceptance criteria for people they like. - Messengers are tolerated, but never promoted. Bad news are a nuisance.

Pros

they send you to california for training

Cons

If Operations is a sinking sinking ship, management are the poorly crafted lifeboats, made from the skin of an old white man moving further and further away. There is pretty little support, low communication, incredibly high turnover, bad training, should I go on? The attempt at inclusion and diversity is pretty funny, they constantly use buzzwords and make you take surveys about how welcome you feel, but don't even have a consistent HR to bring problems to. (You're supposed to go to your manager and have an 'open conversation' and if that doesn't work- submit a case on some random portal). They place high value in support and sales and low value in everyone else. If you're hired here, you'll most likely be placed in a line of people, considered a body to do work, and then later replaced.
