      Great company, hipocritical leadership

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great people, their recruitting process could improve, but the people they hire are truly the greatest. Not only will you find smart, hard-working people; some will actually care 1-bit about you. - Financial transparency (monthly, quarterly and yearly reports on how the company is doing, what the plan is going forward, where they invest, etc) - Process efficiency, is one of the main components of the horrible WLB, but I can't argue against the effect. Things get done, quickly, and without much talking or organizing or planning (low bureaucracy). It could be better, with proper timelines, and increased headcount.

      Cons

      - Work Life Balance (they are run by ex-McKinsey folks mostly, who don't value WLB, and frankly won't do anything to fix it because of their own greedyness and petiness) - People Operations (they should stop lying about their policies and just accept they are becoming just another big tech company plagued with lack of structure, siloing, and hipocritical approaches to workforce management) - Workpace, they claim to be a startup culture, yet everyone is working their assess off (even some people are asked while away on paternity) for projects with little to no value added just cause leadership wants to see everyone getting burned out

      Good company, not perfect but listens to employees

      Senior solutions architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fun, energetic and positive work environment - Flexible work/life balance (in the field at least) - Good remuneration - Lots of technically challenging work - Leadership transparent and open to feedback

      Cons

      - Constant product changes can be exhausting to keep up with and try to sell - Very engineering-led company can cause issues sometimes. Engineering can tend to look down on the field, and as a result either don't listen to or are just dismissive of product feedback.
