Pros

- Worked with some incredibly kind, empathetic people who supported me. - The product is awesome and fun to utilize. - Beautiful dog friendly SF office - Free food, the culinary team is exceptional, so kind talented and hardworking

Cons

- I joined when there was a lot of growth for the team. In 6 months all those positions were eliminated. I was given a heavier and heavier workload with no promise of mobility. - Tons of reorgs and shuffling. I had four different managers in a year. - No 401K match and pay bands were huge. If you negotiated well you could make a decent wage but some people at the same level and with similar experience were making 20% less than their peers. No desire to update that. - The Sales motion felt sloppy. Sales didn't seem to function well and it shows. - Weird about WFH, incredibly inflexible about giving any sort of accommodations even for long term high performing employees. Finally realized their hybrid policy was losing them top talent and posting flexible roles for Sales but otherwise expected folks in the office three days a week in spite of making a product that makes distributed teams successful. Would rather have people waste 6+ hours of their weeks commuting than working.

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
