Pros

Great benefits and great team. Pay is pretty good until you get a measly 2% raise despite the upper management buying more companies and flaunting their revenue. You meet a lot of very smart and talented people while working here. The product is very interesting and very engaging. Really enjoying the work and the pace of things (at least for my first 6 months)

Cons

A lot of reorgs and internal policy changes leading to attrition without backfilling positions. Everyone up until the Director-VP level has been very transparent and fair but once you get to executive leadership, it feels otherwise. They are rarely held accountable for radical changes and will just do a layoff if it doesn't work out. Every department feels likes it is missing 1 or 2 more people. The CEO even said in an AMA just to "utilize AI" to fill that gap as if it's a magic wand. They used to be a really really great company and now they are just ok. Lastly, the RTO policy didn't make sense and was just a tactic to have people quit without pay. They lowered some of their benefit value which isn't a good sign either.

The pay, the people, the benefits

They're a non-public, start-up company, they had layoffs which is always scary.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
