Pros

Great work life balance, remote work, fairly competitive pay, mostly good management. Very supportive co-workers and fair workload.

Cons

Poor x-functional communication on work, primarily top-down driven development, stagnant IC growth, unimpressive leadership, zero-chance at liquidity. Also, probably the worst health/dental insurance in tech, hands-down.

Pros

Smart people, good technical challenges, competitive compensation, remote work and good work-life balance, lots of big product changes

Cons

Low emphasis on quality in the user-facing product and in engineering. Product strategy is hit-and-miss, but it's good that we keep trying. In the short term our incentives aren't very aligned with professionals, and we only measure short term outcomes. Modest growth trajectory for the company with an unclear path towards liquid equity.

Pros

Some of the people were nice.

Cons

Decision paralysis. This is an extremely consensus driven org that can't make any decisions to save its life. The senior leadership team is also completely disconnected from their teams as well as the users of their products.
