Pros

Design is empowered to have a voice, make a difference in planning, and have a robust design process that involves business, users, engineering. Coworkers in all roles are a very talented. Remote work is the norm and well supported with onsite meetups every 6 months. Interesting product that has the opportunity to change the market. Great mentorship, career advancement opportunities and pay.

Cons

Due to the challenging real estate landscape, leadership alters company strategy every few months, leading to drastic changes, and not enough time to have impact. Leadership has little experience in building digital product or services. Siloed efforts, teams, and strategies lead to conflicting or overly dependent roadmaps. Difficult to stay connected to India teams while collaborating on work.

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
