Pros

Great benefits, interesting challenges, good co-workers, fair policies.

Cons

No direction from leadership. Company wants to move fast but cannot decide on direction and how to execute. Product management is done at the program level leading to fragmented strategy and incoherent roadmap. Structurally this company needs to mature before being able to execute on its important mission. I don’t question the intent or integrity of the mission, but leadership’s capacity to execute.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
