Pros

Great perks, a very healthy working environment. People are nice and want you to succeed. I had on the best onboarding and recruiting experience of my life. The product is good, not perfect but constantly improving.

Cons

The company is growing fast which can be disturbing for those who like stability.

Pros

Great office, barista, great benefits and perks. If it wasnt for my stocks I would have left by now.

Cons

HR is political. They have no idea what they are doing and not helping employees at all. IT department is political. They each bring people from their previous companies, and leaving tenured employees out to dry. Young, unexperienced, 2 years in IT kids are getting promoted to managers simply because they are good at sucking up and throwing people under the bus. You can work day in and night, if you didnt know your manager from another company, or if you are really giving them honest feedback you will get bad performance ratings and they will not promote you on purpose. People that were previously interns are now managing a team of 5 with less than 2 years on the jobs when Master degree, 15 years of experience professionals are just analyst. This is a joke. Upper management is amazing and is trying to promote a culture that no-one on the lower management follows because they count everything you say against you.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your candor and take all employee feedback seriously. We encourage employees to meet one on one with their managers, up their management chain or People Partners to share feedback regularly. If you are not comfortable going to your manager or People Partner, you can escalate this to me or Dawn Sharifan, VP of People. Alternatively, executives host office hours regularly and we encourage you to schedule time and share your feedback directly. Thank you again for providing this valuable feedback.
