Pros

Unlimited PTO (for now) Remote (for now) Great colleagues

Cons

The entire executive team has lost their minds, feeding the entire staff one lie after another for the last 3 years, starting with repeatedly telling us we’d never have to return to office. Now they’re forcing everyone within a 75-min commute time (one way) to RTO. They actually think 2.5 hours a day of commuting is reasonable for a company that hasn’t given anyone a meaningful pay increase in 2 years. This is the best they could come up with after a massive pushback when they first made the RTO announcement in June. Took them until August to give us more info. After the first round of layoffs in spring 2022, we were assured there wouldn’t be more. Cut to winter, there’s another round. And yet another round just this week. The boldly terrible RTO plan seems like a calculated move to offload as many employees/salaries as possible without giving people the benefit of a severance package. Shady deals to encourage employees to sell our stock options for practically nothing disguised as “proof of growth.” We used to take our core values very seriously. Now they’re nonexistent. Nobody’s happy. Everyone is anxious and miserable and looking for jobs elsewhere.

Not a good place to work

Pros

A lot of good people here. Products are interesting. Business challenges are interesting as well.

Cons

The company's culture is rapidly declining. Leadership only seems to care about company profits, not about employee well-being. Company is being gutted to prepare it for sale in a few years. Huge waves of layoffs, some with no warning. People who get cut aren't being replaced, so there's too much work and too few people. Cost of living here is soaring, but our bonuses are getting cut, and even small raises are hard to earn. They're trying to avoid promotions, too. In general, they don't seem to want to pay people what they deserve. And now there's a mandatory return to office to help us build culture. But culture isn't about being in the office together. It's about how you treat people. And being forced into the office with leaders who don't care about you and don't treat you fairly doesn't "build culture". It just makes you even less happy with your job. Maybe this is a good company to have stock. But it's definitely not a good place to work.
