Poor Morale and Priorities

Pros

Decent Benefits, cool and skilled coworkers

Cons

Morale is overall poor due to recent decisions from leadership. Long-term employees are leaving due to the direction leadership is choosing to take the product. Middle management is not very good, employees do not feel listened to or valued in some departments. The company is chewing off one of it's legs as it doesnt think it can be competitive in certain areas, while still selling those areas. It's a joke.

Pros

- Product and industry are worth being motivated for - Vote of confidence by leading investors - Inclusive and welcoming team dynamic - Humorous and intelligent co-workers that are excited to get to know you - Co-workers are from all over the U.S. and abroad. There is an opportunity to feel like you're getting some diversity in culture despite OC being quite the opposite - Capable leadership that want to iterate and get it right quickly - Management team cares about their employees and consider suggestions seriously - The company cares deeply about privacy and data ethics; it practices what it preaches - Pay is competitive

Cons

- Office location is quite difficult for people who do not enjoy the surf/hike/ski lifestyle - Could do with a bigger HR team so that operational staff are not overstretched - Some difficulty getting HR questions answered like correcting insurance numbers or getting 401Ks set up - Inconsistent messaging around WFH policies, it largely depends on your manager - Unlimited PTO is a little tricky to manage, especially when there is always work to be done. You don't want to be the person taking off when others don't.
