Pros

The core product is great. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

There is so much disrespect and no accountability. People do not respond to your slacks or email and do not show up to meetings - without responding to the invite or saying something. Most people don't keep their calendars updated, or block their entire calendars. Managers do not enforce better ways of working and let any potential changes fall wayside. Everyone is very protective of their work and how they do things, without any flexibility toward change. There is no structure or organization in any of the work being done, and definitely no cross functional success. From a company that is supposed to be tackling the fragmented organization and creating golden datasets, it's clear that they do not practice what they preach and have no plans to do so. Product and Product Marketing are releasing extremely minimal viable products, without have a clear idea of how these features are going to add value or implement these new features into their existing systems. They clearly don't how their customers are using their product. The cart has been put before the horse on so many occasions with releases, including this giant conceptual launch of Connected Apps Platform without any new features that back up the concept. Feels like an organization full of unqualified, ignorant, nepotistic, arrogant, close-minded people that have never worked anywhere else.

Pros

Office culture is amazing - dedicated "culture ambassadors" (a recruiter and engineer) plan events in the NYC office , and they're doing an amazing job, not to mention daily interactions and lunches with a strong in-office presence. Coworkers on my team are incredibly smart, kind, and thoughtful. In my experience, there is a total absence of known smart but "difficult" people, which is unheard of. Really interesting, technically deep projects, since we are fundamentally a data company. Perks and benefits are great. One of the rare tech companies that still seems to have all the right values regarding DEI, work life balance, and keeping its employees happy.

Cons

Not sure what the outlook is on the future of AI - we're certainly at a major inflection point with a new CTO and a lot of AI initiatives, and it remains to be seen how it goes. Quality of managers seems to be mixed. High management turnover, but that's the industry right now.

Pros

- great flexible product, heavily dogfooded - generally nice and smart coworkers - all my EMs have been great - comp and benefits are good

Cons

- codebase is pretty heavyweight, a large monorepo - distributed and remote-friendly company means you don't get much face time with many of your coworkers - recent wave of departures and re-orgs has been a bit chaotic
