Pros

Individual contributors and line managers are generally onboard with company values. The hiring process tends to result in good company value matches. The pay is roughly competitive with comparable employers.

Cons

Upper management doesn't live up to company values, doesn't prioritize customer experience, chronically under-staffs product and infrastructure teams, and generally creates an environment that leads people who actually do work at the company to repeatedly burn out. The CTO doesn't hold himself accountable for understanding information passed up to him by his direct reports and misleads the rest of senior management with his misunderstandings of key metrics.

Pros

There are some genuine, smart colleagues here I like to work with.

Cons

As a minority, I feel that I'm constantly judged, doubted, and experience passive aggressive behavior by management (indirect comments/ gestures that make you feel like you dont know what you're talking about).

Pros

Permanently remote job if you like being stuck at home forever.

Cons

No KT or Training if you feel like you need some help to upskill yourself.
