Pros

-Amazing teams and co-workers -Great Pay -Sometimes you can see the impact products are having on customers and it definitely gives you a feels-good moment. -Work life balance used to be good before the current economy. -There's a lot of products that have a clear success path for the company.

Cons

-Low PTO -Leadership has no idea what they are doing, and the company is being run to the ground. They mandated return to office and gave most remote employees an ultimatum to relocate or get laid off on top of the most recent layoffs and other employees simply got told they would be let go in March next year. The relocation letters had no compensations other than being told you'd be reimbursed (no details on dollar amount). They did another round of layoffs even after we did one at the start of the year and they told everyone there wasn't going to be another one this year. There's no transparency and instead of even offering pay cuts or doing pay cuts across the board (including the CEO) they would rather just bleed valuable talent from every single team in the company. Most people I talked to don't see themselves sticking around long term (me included). Maybe if things get better.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
