Pros

Flexible hours, clothes discount, 22 days pto.

Cons

Come here if you want to work for mediocre and pretentious people and kill your career. Upper management literally doesn't have a clue what they do, they have more managers that employees to execute final work (I'm talking to you, Engineering team), firing a lot of people and not replace them, keeping useless managers. There is an abnormal amount of arrogance and stupidity in product leadership, I don't even want to mention design because that deserves another chapter. Marketing is another nest of reptiles, times have changed and customers don't perceive the brand as before, dummies. This place has been always a sinking ship, and the people that still stay there are because they are so low-average that they won't be able to find a decent job elsewhere while being overpaid, and they know it.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
