Pros

A lot of transparency from leadership, they treat you like adults so you feel empowered in the work that you do. Great work life balance and really cool in office environment with great views of the city, quiet areas to work away from your desk, a lot of snacks and monthly catered lunches. The company focuses a lot on community and creating a sense of home is core. They care about feedback (both from employees and consumers) and take action on continuously improving based off of that.

Cons

Its hard to please everyone, but they do they best they can to address major issues - no complaints from me!

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
