Business Outlook

Pros

Don't need to work hard Perks are on par with most Amazon stock is the best

Cons

- Vesting schedule is horrible - HR team is the worst of any team I've encountered - Morale is miserable - The pre-acquisition people don't care and are burning the place to the ground before they exit with their cash - Too focused on stopping negativity on social media than fixing the reason people are being negative

Very poor leadership, good people on the ground in some orgs

Business Outlook

Pros

Great perks, passionate and game-loving coworkers, great community of creators and viewers

Cons

Lack of mature leadership, no direction, chasing metrics at all costs, volatility and churn from frantic changing of directions to chase metrics. We state that we are building for the user, but CEO makes product decisions based on his own wants and impulses rather than user needs. Needs a changing of the guard if not a new executive team.
