Pros

Good salary, benefits, bonus, stock grants. Flexible schedule 100% remote. Strong emphasis on culture and people ops. No micromanaging, left alone to accomplish goals and run my team as I see fit.

Cons

Because everyone is remote, it is difficult to communicate across teams. Size of org also makes implementing change difficult. Very corporate and hard to get things done. If legal or finance is involved expect major delays. Feels artificial when they talk about empathy. I was laid off due to streamlining. Had nothing to do with performance. All my reviews were positive and I scored high. When I was let go, everything was done through slack and email. No human connection.

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.
