Pros

Amazing pay and benefits, but that's pretty standard for tech.

Cons

Management consists of a bunch of con artists that brag about their Master degrees from Ivy Leagues but have extremely poor people skills. We just recently lost our 3rd CMO. I've witnessed more than 4 people in management positions quit within less than a year. The founders get extremely jealous when the attention is not on them during All-Hands, even if it is just to listen to them rant about basketball. The culture here consists of the "OGs" who have zero backbone and their only reasoning for justifying any decision making is "Because the founders said so." They are so far removed from what the actual public perception of this brand is and get very defensive when people bring that point up in order to inform marketing strategies. The mass hiring of management positions that happened leading up to and after the IPO created a hostile power-tripping environment of people who pound their fists about which Big Tech company they came from before this. I can go on and on, but I'm anticipating this to be the next WeWork or Fyre Festival documentary.

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.
