Pros

-I'm happy with my comp, although I know of many others who are not. There seems to be disparity across the board. -Culture definitely varies from team to team, but I've been very happy with the culture on my team, and feel like we have more work/life balance than many other teams within the company.

Cons

-Our user and business growth has far outpaced the number of improvements needed in our infrastructure. Very basic processes like billing or creating an account in CRM continue to be extremely painful bottlenecks, despite constant pleas to get better systems. -No org charts anywhere, while positioned as some sort of rebellion against hierarchy, actually creates difficulty. It's very hard to finds out who owns a process, tool, or project (unless you happen to know someone who knows someone who's working on it). -Having all product teams sit in China means we have no visibility into roadmaps. Major product updates are released with no forewarning and no proper marketing materials or training. It seems like the product marketing teams are always scrambling to keep pace with our solutions.

Pros

Experience working in a fast-paced environment

Cons

Negative company culture, mandatory RTO 5 days a week, no flexibility. People get burned out fast and leave fast. Evaluations are always negative and based on biased comments from colleagues, not on actual constructive feedback. No work-life balance.
