Pros

The company itself isn't terrible to work for.. the work is easy as long as you don't lean too much on your coworkers and expect them to do anything for you. If you learn your role, use your brain, and become good at your job, it really is smooth sailing. Maybe not recently, but before you could move up pretty easily as well. The work/life balance is great because again.. the work is easy. They also don't ever ask or require you to work longer than you are expected to.

Cons

Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs. Company has had 2 waves of layoffs in 4 months.. pretty scary stuff for anyone who is still there. Low pay in comparison to other companies doing the same work. Managers don't really have anyone managing them.. which in turn can end up resulting in you having a manager that doesn't seem to do anything or know what they are talking about. However, this is due to ppl being able to "move up" into manager positions with no managerial experience, which is a good thing... but someone has to show them the ropes or they are always lost and don't help the greater pool of workers.

Pros

- My manager seemed to be very supportive and eager to set me up for success. - Interesting technology stack and space to improve things. - I was genuinely happy with the work I was doing at the time. - Good designers and developers on the product team. - Team members who were part of the layoff were extremely supportive, beyond any expectation I could have for that situation I found myself in. I will be forever grateful to that community.

Cons

- The CEO explicitly assured the company at an offsite that finances were great and layoffs wouldn't happen. Two weeks later, I was laid off. - The layoff occurred just four weeks before my scheduled paternity leave, causing immense, unnecessary anxiety. - Once you are out, you are erased. Management and former peers completely iced me out and never reached out again, exposing a deeply cold, phony and transactional culture.
