Pros

Great technical/product development management: specifically Andrew S. and Troy S. They've built an amazing culture with incredibly talented people who are at the top of their game. The company truly cares about their people and encourages and supports a healthy work-life balance. A great place to grow technically as an Engineer. They "get it" there and they deliver on what they say to you.

Cons

None that I had encountered.

Pros

The other designers are young and fun

Cons

I'm actually writing this because management "asked" (really sounded more like a demand) us write about our products and the company on Social Media. Which, in itself, is such a weird ask. I'm not going to post work stuff to my Instagram or Facebook. I would never spam my friends or family like that. So I figure I'd take it to Glassdoor. Not what I expected when I took the job. It's an okay stop on my career path but it's not somewhere I would stay long-term. Since day 1, there's been some fear of layoffs. Their history of layoffs is pretty telling. No job security reassurance whatsoever. There are days I don't do anything at all because of lack of work/projects. There's no real design leadership here. Managers have never been managers previously and it shows. There's no real design system. Every day is a random new project (aka the next shiny thing) from management. People here are either 110% diehard fanboys/fangirls or they hate it here. If you ever try to criticize sometime (even constructively), you are treated like an outcast who doesn't, "believe in the company". It's nuts! I've shortly learned that it's just better to be a "yes man" here and keep my head down to collect a paycheck -- which is a laughable salary compared to real companies with real design orgs by the way. If my boss only makes 5-figures, how on earth would I ever grow and earn more here?
