Pros

Lots of hope and passion from people

Cons

The rate of change over the years across the organization is astonishing, especially in Sales and Marketing Poor leadership Poor communications Poor change management Seattle centric mindset Been talking about IPO for years and years and needle keeps shifting Not competitive compensation Poor value modeling, for instance talk about sharing by default yet many share it is more of a share if you need to know, don't share to upset, and spin it when you share Very poor work life balance No learning or development and no time to learn due to resource constraints Seems like the playbook is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different outcome

Pros

Kissing up to the right people guarantees a promotion irrespective of how pitiful your performance is

Cons

Nothing else matters except kissing up to the right people—chiefly the CMO, who runs his department like he's the head of the secret police. Impugn his pathetic, performative attempts at feminism and you'll get fired right quick

Pros

Great work environment and "technically" smart people. Everyone is easy to talk to at the surface level and willing to help. They care about every employee's well being and happiness. Healthy use of scrum and kanban at the team level means there are lots of opportunities to learn new things.

Cons

Too bad caring doesn't always translate into success. Management, I don't want to call them leadership, is seriously confused and unfortunately in-experienced in scaling an organization or moving past the basics of what it means to be Agile. For a start-up I felt spoiled working here and the amount of money wasted on non-value add crap and perks (while I loved them) was kind of scary and irresponsible at the same time. The people are smart but with it comes a hubris and also general fear of failure that has hindered the company from taking meaningful risks or recognizing and quickly adapting to failures at all levels of the company.
