Pros

- Incredible coworkers. Never have I met more compassionate, knowledgeable, and collaborative humans.

Cons

- Toxic leadership - False promises from marketing to consumers - Burnout is riddled throughout the company with no resolve, yet increased work hours with no additional bonuses or compensation & the kicker is - the CEO comically “wrote” a book on burnout - Frequent gaslighting of internal issues and script readings during layoffs - Inefficient technology and systems, yet prioritization of engineering on unsuccessful products that is not driving the majority of profit - Focus on profit over people. Would rather train and overwork employees rather than hire / retain talent, hold reasonable expectations, & compensate fairly. - Laughable attempts at salvaging the culture through slack “questions of the day”, other virtual meetings with complete disregard of zoom fatigue, and no attempts at true transparency on company direction, layoffs, finances, etc - Inconsistent identity. Mission is the main driver with repeat statements of “what we do does not change” but we are constantly changing “who we are”. - Many projects started with hours worked only to be canned by last minute change of direction or budget cut. - Revolving door. Leadership has done a 360 since I have been apart of the company with frequent hiring sprees and consistent seasonal layoffs. - No career advancement paths for years, yet constant promise of promotion or opportunities.

Pros

While salary is low for the industry, that’s only by a little.

Cons

This place is chaotic at best, and frequently toxic. Robin Berzin cares deeply about her product to the point where she will emotionally abuse those who work directly with her on a cares deeply about her product to the point where she will emotionally abuse those who work directly with her on a regular basis, which could even include individual contributors if she wants to insert herself. Deadlines and priorities are chosen based on her anxiety and desire to make something go live rather than what makes sense. There is constant, relentless chaos and overwork, very little work life balance and no sense of safety about your job. *Important - This is also an unsafe environment for queer people. Time and time again, unsafe to speak up.
