      Lying Capitalists

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good values - Good pay - A few genuine people here and there - Some unique systems that help drive data driven decision making

      Cons

      - NOT SAFE FOR LGBT, especially T - a lot of virtue signaling but very little actual policies or management truly willing to protect LGBT and BIPOC workers - Middle management will absolutely burn you into the ground, they DO NOT care about you at all - Very fake people/company, a lot of performative allyship, a lot of toxic masculinity - Being thrown around to a new team/manager every 6 months (get you in with a good one, transfer you to one that burns you out) - Features you work on can be completely trashed (so much for all that work) - Management goes out of their way to find every little thing you did wrong and mischaracterize situations to their fullest - Dirty liberal centrists that have no real spine or backbone on anything

      Terrible place to work.

      Senior partner manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free food and great resume builder

      Cons

      Toxic dog eat dog culture, classic Silicon Valley passive aggressive behavior, seems like they make decisions behind closed doors and only tell the select few about it. Everyone else needs to figure out as they go and hard to know where you stand. Perfs are structured so that they can be arbitrary. Everyone is scared, watching their back and looking out for #1. Saw multiple employees leave due to burnouts, breakdowns, and mental health issues. It's all smoke and mirrors. Work their people like dogs as well. Seems like they just keeping hiring from Google and expecting that anyone not from Google will just figure the systems out with no training. Total PIP culture and lets dead weight just coast as long as they are comfortable with feeling terrible day in day out.

      Unfair workplace

      Business operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Tech stack - Benefits and perks

      Cons

      - Highly unfair workplace troubled with cases of racism, sexism, unfair treatments - Workplace where personal relationships matter more than your work and competences - Performance reviews feel like a popularity contests - No flexibility on remote work - Lack of learning and development opportunities - Very slow to take decisions and often reactive to competition instead of trend setters
