Good mission, decent benefits, favoritism, bad culture
Pros
I really believe the mission and market fit are fantastic. The company hires some very intelligent and diverse talent, where one can find many friends. The catered lunches are a nice perk as well, plus being dog friendly.
Cons
The work is very transactional, despite countless promises to automate. There aren’t as many career opportunities as advertised, with most interesting positions filled by outside hires as they come up. There’s a glass ceiling to manager and those who make it are often favorites or cheerleaders to the company. Candor, despite being a core value, will result in negative attention and pushback. This can also show up on your performance reviews (including asking why involuntary compensation changes are made). The work life balance is also tough, with unspoken pressures to not work from home and always be accessible via slack and email.
