Pros

Salary is very good. Health benefits are amazing. Many roles may be had as hybrid and/or remote. Culture code sounds good on paper.

Cons

Manager musical chairs. Managers with a "do as I say, not as I do" (managers and leadership expect individual contributors to adhere to a "culture code" but they do not themselves). Constructive feedback comes as a surprise at review time (once a year). Rare positive feedback throughout the year. No growth path or ways to move laterally; you are stuck for years in a role unless the organization changes you to another role. People that have no business being managers are made managers but people that express desire to get there are ignored. Managers are terrible people managers because they are expected to do other things as well - and those other things are what give them "visibility".

The company is good but AEX is toxic and a disaster

Pros

Great benefits and Andrew is a fantastic leader.

Cons

The organization overall is good, but the Marketing organization needs a lot of cleanup. Will be interesting to see what happens with sales in the next couple of years as a result of the changes Dara is putting in place. I'm not convinced it's going to drive enterprise sales but we'll see. Beware of AEX. Terrible leadership has resulted in a ridiculously toxic environment. There's no clarity, tons of infighting, and the leadership doesn't know what they are doing. They don't listen to their teams which is causing a terrible work environment and no collaboration. It has been bad for about 18 months, but recently (last 6 months) has gotten exponentially worse.
