Pros

Full transparency on most things The ability to have ideas that are listened to 401k match is 100% up to 10% Company holidays + vacation policy truly shines (hint, it's massive) Everyone in the company has an open door policy Things get done fast because processes are streamlined Everyone is super friendly The back to office policy is reasonable and every measure has been taken to make us feel comfortable The in office benefits are incredible The overall comp packages are super competitive

Cons

To be honest, there have been issues that I've raised that have been answered so any potential issues I've had have been met and exceeded

Pros

- everyone here is really logical and things just don't happen because we're following the whims of a startup ceo - we use data to justify our product decisions and descope engineering tasks to fit deadlines - people are great - fun, interesting, and weird people you enjoy talking to and they do take office culture seriously, quarterly offsites for each product and eng team - lots of opportunity for ownership - it's overwhelming in the beginning - people listen to each other and work to make sure everyone feels heard - good work/life balance

Cons

- technical debt - making progress on it but there is a lot - sometimes you can feel silo-ed because of the cross-functional teams

We really appreciate your feedback on how you feel about us. We pride ourselves on creating an environment of diversity and inclusion of ideas and there's nothing more important than listening to our employees. We're working very hard on modernizing our Technology ecosystem and it's people like yourself that help us continue to make meaningful moves towards that. On the topic of feeling siloed at times, I'd definitely welcome you to talk to anyone in the leadership team or on the people / talent side about that. We want to hear you out and work with you to consistently improve who were are and how we operate!

Pros

There are some really wonderful and passionate people in the T&S department.

Cons

Pay is way below market, teams are siloed, management is in chaos, HR is unwilling to challenge upper management. Trust & Safety has no input anywhere in the company. It's a completely toxic work environment and they try to address it by giving people access to mindfulness apps. There are serious issues with structural racism. There's no upward career path for anyone in Trust & Safety. Stay away! It's not worth it!
