Pros
The people I worked with were genuinely great. The job is remote (though they have recently started requiring travel for all new employees once a quarter).
Cons
When I started here the company and culture were fantastic. I felt like I had won the job lottery. Then leadership changed and the ship has been sinking ever since. Where do I start? The lack of organization: my department went through a reorganization almost every single year I was there. We were constantly juggling way too much work and any complaint about this to management would be met with "you need to learn how to prioritize". They could also never figure out how to do performance reviews or feedback, so we ended up doing performance & peer reviews sometimes up to 4-6 times a year as a "test" of the system, it was incredibly draining. The lack of integrity & clarity: I saw my own and multiple coworkers ideas and suggestions be taken by management and presented as their own so they could take credit. I saw low performers be promoted over those who were the pillars of their department because they were "yes men". There were people I worked with who clearly were not doing their job correctly for years that were never noticed by management until it had to be pointed out, then still nothing was done. AI was constantly being pushed with zero effort to train by the company, only that we "needed to be using it" with no guidance on how. Funnily enough a week after a new AI system had been implemented, there was a large wave of layoffs. The connection there is clear. The lack of transparency: The company survey one year stated we wanted more transparency. In one of the most baffling moves I've ever seen in the professional world, the execs took that to mean they needed to take turns doing a 10 minute long presentation about their personal lives at the beginning of every company-wide meeting for an entire year. I wish I could say I was joking. Additionally the CEO would promise layoffs would be the last thing he would consider, then would randomly lay large groups of people off with zero warning (the most recent one being this last June). Leadership: Disorganized, will argue with each other in company meetings. The CEO started taking away many perks that made the company unique and a great place to work (such as cutting parent leave drastically and midway through the year, putting harder limits on the "unlimited" PTO, requiring travel, removing Summer Fridays literally a few weeks before they were set to start which caused horrible scheduling issues for many), stating that we needed to be more like other companies. It honestly felt like an attempt to get people to quit before laying them off, and I'm still not convinced that wasn't the case as just a month after this announcement was a large group layoff.
