      Worst place I’ve ever worked

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You meet other great people and get to commiserate with them about how horrible this place is Lunch on Wednesdays Decent health insurance options You can use RSUs as a tax break since the value just keeps going down, never up You find people to do interview preparation with since everyone is looking for a new job

      Cons

      Horrible work-life balance - expect to work weekends, evenings, and whenever a PM gets distracted by something shiny Experiments are not to learn; they’re for PMs to manipulate data to put into a weekly shareout pretending the team is having huge wins but never actually solving customer needs/wants Middle management has no idea what they’re doing and you end up getting assigned useless work that goes nowhere on a “hunch” RTO mandate to 3 days/week with no lunch except on Wednesdays. There were 2 shootings a couple of blocks from our office last week alone and there’s been no discussion of keeping employees safe. Whenever you tell someone you work here, they inevitably tell you how much they hate the product, especially the spamming we do with notifications. It’s embarrassing
