Pros

Easy job with “unlimited pto”

Cons

Micromanagement like you wouldn’t believe. Managers in constant fear of layoffs (it is the company culture) so they have to have their nose in everything. They frequently call out employees publicly over the smallest things and are extremely patronizing. Vendors are over paid in order to pad metrics, and they have the lowest quality of work putting lipstick on pigs. Management always takes the side of the vendors and never back up their own employees. Weekly meetings that are a complete waste of time. Changes are constantly being implemented in order to allow for more micromanagement. Too many people with no actual project management experience who act like they are the smartest in the room. This place is awful. I could go on and on. ***they send out surveys for you to express how you feel about working there which are not anonymous like they say as a manager revealed things that made it obvious that the surveys were not anonymous, and these were likely used when deciding layoffs. Beware***

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
