Pros

- People are amazing and creative individuals - Generous PTO and additional holidays - Remote working option, good work/life balance - Matched 401k - Great benefits

Cons

Upper management has zero idea what is going on and launch company wide strategy changes every other week. Constantly promising no layoffs and then major layoffs happen CEO and executive level changes every few months No clear roadmap There is no real room for growth

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you appreciate our amazing and creative team members and the wonderful benefits we offer. We completely understand your concerns about upper management and truly appreciate your patience while we worked on strategy development. Our executives were itching to communicate with our employees, and now that the product strategy is out, we were overjoyed to receive such positive feedback through the engagement survey. We want you to know that we're always looking for ways to help everyone feel connected to our strategic priorities, which is why we've introduced aligned OKRs for all NI team members.
