Pros

Benefits are great - 100% paid for Percentage of gym membership covered Unlimited PTO Flexible with working from home Casual/laid-back work environment People are fun Fully stocked kitchen with snacks/drinks/beer Sports ticket allotment

Cons

Grew too fast - no reason that a company of this size needs a 50+ marketing team so there are a lot of people trying to do the same thing; not enough clarity around what everyone's roles/responsibilities are Offices in multiple locations that are very disconnected from one another Extremely slow engineering team - takes at least a month to see even the smallest changes implemented Promotions without raises Negative media attention causes uncertainty around job security

Pros

Colleagues who are both smart and genuinely nice A fun office environment, sports-related events A fair amount of non-financial perks Approachable leadership compared to many other large companies Top tier benefit offerings Great employee resource groups

Cons

Constant restructuring of teams, especially in Tech RIFs began happening more regularly almost every year A lot of senior leadership roles are disconnected from processes and work that is happening Business growth is largely outside of the control of employees - there's lot of market and industry based factors to consider D&I is only a priority if it's required to be or if the incentives are right Career growth opportunities are much more competitive and limited at mid/senior levels
