      Better than some other companies, but still not great

      Pros

      Some really great individuals at the company

      Cons

      Better than some other companies, but still not great, especially if you’re from a marginalized background. They say employees are their number one value, but rarely, if ever, do they actually show that. Most of it is performative and surface-level. Not all orgs in the company are treated the same. Favoritism and politics are definitely a thing. Lots of discrimination (blatant and microaggressive) that’s just sweet under the rug. Also, full-time WFH policies are continuing to be super restricted for no clear reason, and that’s been the last straw for a lot of people. If you’re LGBTQ, disabled, a caregiver, or non-white, then be wary.

      Good perks, poor leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive benefits - medical plan options, 401k matching, ESPP, annual stock refresh, annual company bonus (recently cut from 50 to 25 RSUs), unlimited PTO, sick pay In-office perks (pre-pandemic) - free snacks, subsidized food, fun events Pandemic support - extra paycheck at the start of the pandemic, some organizations have designated no-meeting days (not all managers respect them), flexible working schedules

      Cons

      Leadership is lacking - big egos, reactive, politicking, top-down decision making Limited career development - opportunities/promotions are reserved for management favorites vs high-performers; large investment put into hiring with very little effort to support, grow and retain existing employees In-person culture - requiring people back in office, limited remote opportunities, indecisive about vaccination policy
