Pros

Nice people. Very smart people. Lots of people who show up committed to their mission.

Cons

Lots of favoritism. There are the values they say they have, and then there are the values that actually exist. Some pockets within the company actually do live the values but it's very erratic. It's also a very top heavy organization. Lots of titles are handed out, which creates power dynamics.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
