Pros

- A lot of expectations, and ownership but at the same time it comes with opportunity for career growth. -I used think there was a NY inner circle, but then somebody close to leadership was fired for underperformance in their role and we were told we can stay remote indefinitely. -The new Leadership is very direct and hands on, which is good for the business for the most part -This meritocracy is very good if you are hard worker and confident, but a lot of colleagues are maybe not as hard of workers so there is a shifting dynamic in some legacy people rising up and others filtering out. If you are confident in your abilities, you can probably get a lot of ownership and career growth, but I think that if you are a underperformer or aren't wanting to work 8 hours a day don't come here, you will be expected to work. Performers leave good reviews, people that got fired I think leave almost all the bad reviews but that's normal when there is a lot of change. For me it's somewhere between 3.9 and 4.3.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to prioritize when there is so much to do Leadership can be a little unclear with longer term goals Bad has also come with chaos, tight deadlines, bar being raised, some turnover

Pros

New leadership is hungry, passionate, and driven and RealSelf is better than ever after various layoffs and changes in leadership. I am excited about what we are building here for the first time ever and it no longer feels like a slow burn. The culture and teams seem re-energized and it is awesome.

Cons

Former leaders were out of touch with the engineering teams, out of touch with modern technology and market data, out of touch with consumers and target demographics, out of touch with social media
