Pros

- Amazing culture - People are incredibly smart yet nice and warm - Wonderful work/life balance - The best product and mission

Cons

- Not great at developing people managers which leads to unhappy IC's. Managers who are great employees are not necessarily great managers and they can't seem to get a balance. - Not invested in career development. It is your responsibility to push for that but doesn't feel very supported when you do make the effort. - moving away from being transparent like we once were. People (managers/leaders) are starting to say one thing but come to find out a few days later that isn't true or something changes and there is no communication around it

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
