Pros

Free Lunch, OT, Snacks, Supportive Leads

Cons

I have never worked for a company that made you feel more uncomfortable in my life. This is a huge high school that acts as if they care about diversity which they don't and promotions are based on which managers likes you vs merit. The Upper management not the leads are 100% clueless, they know 0 about the product, how it works, our day to day work or any of the metrics they create and try to drive. The office culture caters to the LGBTQ community and white people, people of color are afterthoughts. Black History Month, a joke. Pride Month a celebration. Majority of leadership is white, quality assurance 99% white. This company cares nothing about the users as they make them wait 3-5 day for responses but they care even less about the employees. Service Level who cares, customers waiting who cares upset customer who cares, but hey look new sign ups yay!

Pros

Great benefits, though perks keep being quietly shuffled out over time. Interesting and challenging tech problems due to the rapid growth of the company. Amazing and smart people to work with.

Cons

Upper management has become increasingly heavy handed as the company's intense growth puts more burden on the bottom line. New leadership is much more interested in keeping the people above them happy then taking basic care of employees. Work-life balance has taken a huge downturn as company commitments take center stage. This means lots of decisions handed down from on-high and autonomy/input-power being taken away from the people actually building the product. Almost all senior roles and long-time employees have turned over within the past year. Leadership makes a big show of "listening" but hasn't show any actual response / change / action from what they're being told. Culture as a whole has taken a huge hit as the people who most actively worked to nurture the community got burnt out and left. Naturally things like diversity have taken a hit as there's less focus on making a welcoming, inclusive workplace, and things are increasingly siloed across teams.
