Pros

- Friendly Co-workers who are very welcoming. - Some great benefits - Medical, DashPass, Unlimited PTO - Decent role progression with opportunities to learn new roles.

Cons

- Extremely stressful customer service. 2-3 live chats at a time covering complex issues with a 20 minute handle time expectation. - Core values such as "Be Direct" are one direction (downwards) and weaponized. IE: If you are late or miss an All Hands meeting, you're publicly shamed in Slack. - Having the best customer service in the world is contradicted by poor decisions made by upper leadership. IE: Passing off customers to email due to specific inquiries. CEO gate-keeps his shirts from customers who are interested in them? - Culture isn't shared with WFH employees as much - They got rid of the employee who was working on solutions for that. - They like to "part ways" with employees that challenge the status quo. - No HR structure. I never got my letter of separation or exit interview survey. I had to reach out to HR on my last day after giving 3 weeks notice. Still never received anything. - Lacking most diversity & inclusion - The bottom line matters more to leadership than your mental health. They often use the "We're a startup" excuse to warrant burnt out employees.

Pros

Some smart, ambitious people who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

This place is an unstable, toxic mess, and leadership is largely to blame. The C-suite is full of egos and seems to make goals and quotas up out of thin air, then cleans up the fallout from poor planning and overhiring with layoffs. There have been three company-wide mass layoffs in less than four years, and that doesn’t even include the many layoffs that have happened quietly behind closed doors. The toxicity at the top trickles down through the entire organization. VPs put pressure on middle management, who then pass that pressure on to ICs. The company can’t seem to keep leaders in place for more than six months, which creates constant chaos and confusion. Strategies are always changing, priorities shift every few months, and nothing ever sticks long enough to make a real impact. Promotions seem to be based more on politics, favoritism, and who can make the most noise than on actual performance. The same people get promoted year after year, and many of them seem underqualified for the titles they hold. If you’re good at self-promotion and have the right relationships, you’ll probably do fine. If you’re quietly doing great work, don’t expect the same recognition. HR keeps saying they’re working on improving the promotion process, but I haven’t seen much change. If you’re considering joining the GTM org (especially the operational side) I would think twice. The new leadership loves to talk about transformation, improvements, and exciting changes, but there’s usually very little follow through behind the messaging.
