A huge disappointment

Pros

- Really nice, smart and caring employees - Great mission people can really get behind - Strong challenges across the entire org

Cons

- There's a weird facade at the surface. You're fed that this is "the inspiration" company and the culture is "nice", but when you're facing real challenges and opportunities to give feedback to make the company better, it's really all fake. Pulse surveys are a joke. Many teams are getting poor results, but the follow up actions aren't good enough. - There are deep cultural problems and HR lacks severe empathy in driving real cultural change and they aren't driving the right behaviors to make the company better. Minorities are leaving the company at an alarming rate. - Lack of accountability: processes and OKRs are constantly changing, so you don't know what to focus on or what the new process is. Also see note above re: pulse results. - Depending on your org, but the opportunities for growth are lacking overall. - Managers are junior, so you need to be paired with a really good one and that will make a big difference on your career.
