Pros

- Amazing people, perks, and benefits - Empowered to do great work & given great autonomy - Management listens and responds to feedback extraordinarily well - Real commitment to diversity & inclusion efforts from leadership - Katie Burke is a gem and having her as our Chief People Officer is the best thing to ever happen (not exaggerating)

Cons

- We are definitely underpaid (especially in engineering) - Only 12 weeks of paid maternity leave, which is pretty low for this industry - Still mostly white dudes, especially in sales & engineering (and leadership overall)

Okay somehow I was traveling and missed this--I'm so sorry for the delay. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the kind compliment and the thoughtful review. I'm not exaggerating either when I say it's the best thing about my entire career to get to work with people like you every day, and I feel humbled and energized to get here every day, so thank you, for both the compliment (I may have teared up...) and for all the hard work you do every day. We are working hard to make you proud on parental leave and on diversity, and on comp, would love to connect offline (if you're open to it of course) because we try to be pretty competitive there in terms of total comp particularly in engineering, so let me know if you're open to a conversation on that front, would be very open to feedback there. Thanks as always for your hard work and for the thoughtful review and compliment. Sincerely, Katie

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.
