Pros

-You meet some great people. -Fully remote (for those who like remote) -Vacation policy

Cons

-Leadership is very clicky, more arrogant than anywhere I've worked, and egotistical. They don't have any interest in what employees think. Their ideas are the best ideas. Regardless of the continued failures, leadership changes happen and the viscoucycle starts over again. The inconsistencies in leadership turn into continuous restructuring/reorganizations/layoffs. You as an employee will lose because of their lack of leadership and accountability. -Managed by fear. Whether you agree or disagree, fall in line and say nothing. I've watched managers support leaders, even when they didn't agree or were wrong. Then in typical 2-faced fashion, they will trash-talk that individual when they depart the company. -You're a number. When the company is done with you, they're done with you. They want 100% dedication to the company but they have 0% interest in you. They will drop you in a heartbeat and dump your work onto someone else, without a 2nd thought. -Hadn't got a pay raise in more than 4 yrs. Going through the last 4 yrs with the worst cost of living increases, we were given a single 2% increase. Even when STIP wasn't earned, leadership provided a fractional STIP to throw workers a carrot so that they deflect from not getting annual pay increases. -Company culture has changed to the point that employees are not engaged with the product. -HR will avoid an issue at all cost. -Work/life balance seems favorable as you get to work remotely and the relaxed vacation policy. However, if you you take pride in your work and hold yourself accountable, you will spend far more time working than a 40 hours/week (estimating 55-60 hrs). -Promoting within is not favorable. They prefer hiring externally for outside perspective.

Pros

absolutely so many amazing and talented people that are incredibly passionate about the brand and supporting each other. Unfortunately, there are some really bad eggs in executive positions right now, especially in HR. That said, the head of engineering is great and fosters a good work culture where he is able. Some leadership prioritizes doing things fast instead of doing them right which causes friction, risk and wasted energy. There is so much potential for this to be an incredible place to work if some leadership that has poor values / lack competency, get removed. I met some of the best people I know from working here so I am hopeful for the future.
