Pros

--They say it's a thing here and it is a thing: people are nice as a baseline and that makes working here very pleasant --Lots of autonomy to come up with solutions, run with an idea --The company's main year goals are veery clear and constantly reiterated; focus is a real thing here --Everyone seems very invested in user growth internationally --Feels like a start-up still but in a good way --Not much hierarchy--management structure feels fairly flat even if it isn't; execs seem humble and approachable

Cons

--Weekly company Q&A sessions feature a lot of demos from Engineers and sometimes I don't know what their referring to in regard to features, acronyms etc. --Company is iOS first as many tech companies are; with international expansion being a big goal, I think we should lead the way by becoming Android first --Documentation seems strewn across a variety of platforms and is not necessarily easy to access or find --adherence to hiring nice people has the potential to make some people afraid to give critical feedback; I'm not clear how we cut through that potential drawback

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
