Pros

Here's a balanced Glassdoor review based on your experience: Pros: Excellent training and development for new hires - they really invest in getting associates up to speed Strong culture of diversity and inclusion Unlimited PTO policy was genuinely useful and flexible Family-friendly policies with good understanding for parents When you have the right manager, the support and advocacy can be excellent

Cons

Cons: Promotion process feels unnecessarily difficult even after proving your value - like they're deliberately making you jump through hoops for something you've already earned Zero flexibility on salary or promotion negotiations, which is frustrating Your entire experience hinges on your direct manager - can make or break your time there Company culture has declined noticeably over time with less investment in team building and morale Workload has become unsustainable - went from balanced to extremely stressful with poor work-life balance Understaffing is a major issue - when people leave, existing employees are expected to absorb multiple roles instead of backfilling positions Recent switch from unlimited to "flexible" PTO seems like a step backward Overall: Started strong with great training and culture, but the experience deteriorated significantly. Success depends heavily on manager quality, and recent changes suggest the company is prioritizing cost-cutting over employee experience. The workload and pace became unsustainable by the end of my tenure.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
