Pros

- Honestly, the humans who work here are some of the best people on the planet. Bright, caring, creative, thoughtful. - For a Startup, you really have a lot of flexibility. Great parental leave policies, amazing facilities and snacks, 3 hot meals a day... every flavor of Hint water imaginable... you catch my drift. - The product is awesome. As a user, I'm thrilled about what's being developed and released recently.

Cons

- Who you work for really determines your ability to be successful / move up. Even if you're a bright, motivated, hard-working individual... if you don't see eye to eye with your boss or with the "right" people, you get left behind.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
