Pros

-A ton of really impressive people -A passionate employee base -A mission I’m excited to support and fully committed to -Infinite growth potential -Benefits

Cons

While so many people are so great, some of the leadership is out of touch. My VP happens to be one of those people. She has been ruthless in cutting understaffed teams and unwilling to provide support for those who remain. Work is being effected, workload is exponentially through the roof, and these issues are only compounding. I’ve now absorbed 2 other jobs on top of my own and have been told that’s just how the future is going to be. Everybody above and around me is taking PTO and I can’t fathom leaving my computer outside of 9am-10pm, 7 days per week. I feel like I can’t breathe and my health is getting crushed. I don’t know who I can go to and feel stuck for the first time in my life. I’m dealing with this right now because I really believe in this company and the culture outside of my experience. I’m just not being paid enough, and my limit is one step away.

Pros

- Not super micromanagey culture unless you get stuck with a micromangey manager - good pay + stocks - interesting work - easy to jump teams - nice managers for the most part and peers - i had good work life balance as long as u get ur work done u can choose ur hours

Cons

- a lot of approvals needed to get work completed. You need to make everyone happy in order to ship something and that takes alot of work and most of your day is in meetings or prepping for these meetings instead of just doing the work. - reorgs happen often - the vibes were not great in the creative function.
