Pros

Pay is decent, co-workers are often friendly and helpful. One of few companies that still allows work from home. Timezones are often a struggle to navigate with such a global company.

Cons

Poor leadership and corporate strategy. The product roadmap consists of trying to catch up to products and offerings competitors have had for multiple years. Too many obstacles and blockers to navigate which hampers product deliveries and adds unnecessary complexity. Multiple rounds of company layoffs throughout each year. Lack of loyalty and respect for employees. Promotions are very hard to come by, someone often needs to leave the company in order for a role to open / potential promotion.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
