Pros

Great company to work for. Perks are amazing. Challenging work. Smart people. It's a well oiled machine for a company of its size and has been working to address the *systematic* internal issues (eg developer productivity). Overall it's hard to beat.

Cons

The company has been bleeding culture as the old timers leave and the hiring process is slanted towards what have been described fairly accurately as "worker bees from Google." In general, I saw my newer coworkers were smarter but less fun than the older ones. Recently there has been a lot of turnover at the company in what is basically a systematic sweeping of house as they look for people internally who aren't up to par. This is concerning even for those above this bar, although I can understand that it may make the company stronger long-term. Not enough upward mobility. Promotion/feedback process can be gamed.

Pros

Free lunches. Most of the colleagues were nice.

Cons

Vague feedback & lack of structured support: Bi-weekly 1-on-1s tend to be repetitive and lack actionable substance. When mistakes occur, the standard protocol is a vague directive to "review the guidelines" rather than a collaborative review of the actual error. There is a missed opportunity to pair struggling agents with peers for hands-on learning and mentorship. Subjective conflict resolution: Team issues and workflow disruptions are sometimes met with personal assumptions from management (framing issues as a "lack of trust" among peers) rather than objective investigation. Ignoring reported operational issues simply because a manager "wasn't present" to witness them stalls team progress. Sharing constructive details with both parties would allow the team to learn and move forward professionally. Ambush-style offboarding & lack of progressive discipline: The termination process lacks fair, progressive discipline. Rather than addressing performance concerns or alleged errors through transparent, ongoing feedback or structured improvement plans, management tends to weaponize past learning curves (which were previously resolved and followed by praised performance) during the final exit meeting. Dismissing employees abruptly without prior, documented warnings is incredibly damaging to team morale, especially for those managing high-stress workloads in child safety and platform integrity.
