Pros

Good pay, good perks, good product

Cons

Pressure to work really hard, goals that are not attainable with no real strategy, no accountability from leadership. Chief Marketing Officer has no clue what he is doing, and individual contributors below him pay the price. People work really hard, not smart, and the tone is all set from leadership. Lowest performing ICs get fired while managers are not held accountable for team performance. People don't take as much PTO as they should. Someone on the marketing team got fired for his treatment of women, and the CMO helped him get his next job. No established culture of feedback, especially from ICs to managers. Very sales-forward culture with tons of vaping in the office. I've never left a job so quickly.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
