Pros

There are mostly kind people (outside of upper management), just trying to make a living. The benefits and salary are on par with most tech companies.

Cons

- Constant chaos and zero respect for anyone's time or mental health. - Meetings, Meetings, Meetings and then more meetings about meetings. - Everyone is constantly talking about "burn out" and nothing actually changes. - You are expected to work constantly and to be available 24/7 (even if they won't say that for legal reasons) and you are punished when you actually have boundaries around your work and life and when you actually try to take any PTO. - Toxic leadership remains in place despite their terrible reputations and negative impact on hard workers.

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
