Pros

Free food and great resume builder

Cons

Toxic dog eat dog culture, classic Silicon Valley passive aggressive behavior, seems like they make decisions behind closed doors and only tell the select few about it. Everyone else needs to figure out as they go and hard to know where you stand. Perfs are structured so that they can be arbitrary. Everyone is scared, watching their back and looking out for #1. Saw multiple employees leave due to burnouts, breakdowns, and mental health issues. It's all smoke and mirrors. Work their people like dogs as well. Seems like they just keeping hiring from Google and expecting that anyone not from Google will just figure the systems out with no training. Total PIP culture and lets dead weight just coast as long as they are comfortable with feeling terrible day in day out.

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
