      Pros

      Beautiful office, smart, respectful and talented co-workers, quality content and product, inspiring mission, great work/life balance.

      Cons

      Constantly changing leadership, unsure if a large/small group of people will be let go unexpectedly (and immediately), multiple people quit every two weeks, unsure of job title and responsibilities, company structure changes every 3-5 weeks, goals change even more rapidly, and approval process is unclear.

      Pros

      - Wonderful people up until the upper management position

      Cons

      - Leadership is absolutely tone deaf and lacks true empathy - Constant change in priorities - Unclear direction + leadership - Removed maybe the only positive portion of the benefits (every other Friday off)

      Pros

      + MINDays which means every other Fri off + some (few) good team members + it's a job and pays the rent

      Cons

      So many to list... - failed merger - multiple RIFs - shaky financials: 2022 and 2023 revenue performance significantly MISSED targets - depressed morale - incompetent leadership (lots of changing leaders which is both good and bad) - foolish business decisions; trying to do too much and failing - lots of benefit cuts and no raises communicated recently from the execs - they wait too long before acting and then act hard (such as no job duplication exercises when Ginger and Headspace merged...then a non-well execute RIF, then more to follow)
