Pros

A few fun benefits, flexible PTO

Cons

Management: Leadership frequently touts "inclusion and transparency," but the reality is a culture of favoritism and "crony" hiring. Promotions are based on social circles rather than merit or performance. Work Environment: The Product Design org is particularly dysfunctional. It is driven by ego rather than user-centric goals. Expect a lack of clear direction, frequent gaslighting, and a culture where credit for your work is often taken by those in higher positions. Compensation & Growth: Pay is significantly below market average with no clear path for advancement. High output is expected, but rewards and recognition are non-existent. Key Issues: There is a glaring lack of upward feedback loops for managers. One specific lead has a documented history of misconduct and poor performance (including skipping meetings and offloading work onto subordinates) but remains "protected" and even promoted by upper management. Verdict: This environment is detrimental to mental health. If you value professional growth and a supportive culture, look elsewhere.

Pros

- remote work available - decent pay - good benefits

Cons

- leadership lacks direction - lack of guidance and mentorship - leadership is cold and disingenuous - my direct lead was overly reactive and unsupportive - misalignment across orgs leading to confusion and unnecessary friction (ie: engineering, design, and product having conflicting goals)
