      Pros

      - brand on your resume, well-known - fast-moving, you can try implement different things that in trend right now - salary is good - fully remote

      Cons

      - 0 work-life balance - very bad for a PM career as there is no growth in this company for a good PM, no one tracks metrics or know how to measure anything - absolute chaos in prioritization, everything is a p0 - be ready to work on weekends and late nights without being recognized - in some departments there is a dog eats dog culture - very toxic environment - higher management sometimes behaves very disrespectful towards middle management, I've never experienced anything like this in any other company

      Pros

      - lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

      Cons

      - tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
