Pros

The promise of an amazing culture pales in comparison of the actual culture, which is cult-like people who aren't very good at their jobs - but seem to get away with bad behavior and poor performance.

Cons

Shark-like brand and marketing people who are poor performers and afraid to take advice from skilled outsiders. PMs, who create mediocre product (take a look at the site) are scared of change and do not support active change.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We do believe that our people drive a transparent, inclusive culture, and it disappoints us to hear that you did not find that to be true. While we are sorry to learn that you did not have the most positive experience with us, we’re appreciative that you shared some areas that we can improve upon.

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
