Pros

Interesting products and some descent people.

Cons

There has been tons of recent layoffs done quietly so it's not reported. But let it be known, you aren't given a reason to be laid off. Imagine everyone running scared at this time trying to hold on to their job. There is no work life balance. Toxicity is everywhere and people will throw you under the bus. You only get promoted if you play the game by sucking up and drinking the cool-aid. Otherwise, no matter how good you are, you will get cut loose. As for the other reviews, they are right on the money, unfortunately everything is built on chaos and confusions. Too many rookies on the job with high leadership roles need to go. The company has a lot of potential for the greater good, but it fails to deliver on those promises.

Pros

Impactful work from Day 1 and a great learning experience

Cons

If you are not in the headquarter office, you may miss out on some networking opportunities but the early talent team do their best in providing as many opportunities as possible.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
