Pros

A lot of amazing people, respect of personal time, learning and growth encouraged, people team that supported team members, leaders that cared, product that's easy to be passionate about.

Cons

Understaffed product teams (devs), unwillingness to rethink and evolve product teams that led to teams being spread too thin, creativity and energy stifled by top down work (compounded by lack of dev resources), some poor upper management hires in the past but those leaders who made the hires remained, very inconsiderate of timing of changes (example: took away perks like covered insurance to become profitable as a company then announced a billion dollar acquisition shortly after; announced big layoffs but shortly after still do a costly large in person sales kickoff and sales people on LinkedIn celebrating winning awards with company paid trips), truly believe leadership tried to do the right thing many time but just were not capable/made the wrong decisions with minimal consequences to them and pain for ICs.

Feels like a wasted year

Pros

Most of the people on your team and across other departments are great to work with, fun, supportive, helpful and can teach you a lifehack or two. Pay - ok, but consistent with what other companies offer. Unlimited PTO - ok, but again, not unique to PS and you can't really use it during busy season or end of quarter. Recharge weeks -ok, but for some teams were expected to work through it or make up the time later by working on other days off.

Cons

Mid-management team lack confidence (or experience?), change their tune way too often, with prevailing CYA attitude. Too much buzz about amazing culture, mission and vision, in reality management can ignore issues and relevant feedback, and then try to manage out the employee who raised the red flag. The value and purpose of the C&V suite is a mystery to me altogether, they seem disorganized and self-absorbed, setting up endless internal meetings, not aligned on objectives with one another. Of course we know how it ended for 400 employees in December 2022.
