Burnout culture, good for a year max

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

free park passes, good corporate benefits, free swag, and decent WLB for now?

Cons

A lot of office politics n the culture. Managers are toxic and has a very "urgent" pressure for tasks when it is not really needed. Burnout culture here. A lot of direction and prioritization from high-level managers who actually have no idea of the root problems. Tough to move internally.

Was good at first

Digital media producer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great entry level job, open workspace allows for collaboration, good people

Cons

There’s little room for upward mobility, positions get eliminated and work gets dispersed, meaning your workload continuously grows. Burnout is rampant, several employees have taken extended medical leave due to this. Decisions come from a select few with little input from those that actually do the job. The company is moving in new directions but without employee happiness and support, they won’t get very far.

Good place to work

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart people in the tech department and across the company, can definitely learn a lot. Engineering culture is slowly growing. Very nice perks in office, good pay, Great culture, WLB is good too

Cons

Corporate Bureaucracy at its finest, leadership sometimes can be running around with their heads cut off, and switch priorities without communicating with engineering squads. Very hard to move up as well and move outside of your role. Also not very diverse sadly
