Pros

Benefits are solid; San Mateo has good restaurants

Cons

Make your number you can still be gone in an instant; they take at-will seriously and will terminate if you are not nodding head and saying yes. They turn smart people into conformist robots and control with money. On-boarding is excruciatingly long having to memorize and regurgitate company script only to scrap it to sell the product in the real world. All aspects of equity are suspect and look at those on LinkedIn who used to be there and that will start to paint a picture for you. Don't be fooled by the positive HR posts.

Pros

It used to be an enjoyable place to work, the culture has completed shifted.

Cons

I could copy and paste every other 1-2 star review and it would be just as valid. The company's answer to treating non-management employees like disposable garbage was answered with a #makeadifference Slack channel where their own teammates or others in similar job roles can validate each other. Start from management. With directions and responsibilities completely taking 180 degree turns on a weekly (not exaggerating, literally weekly) basis. One week you aren't doing enough. One week you're less than an hour into OT and you're doing too much. Which is funny, I can't point to anyone in our team that is slacking off - there's always an abundance of work to get done and it gets done. The job training is a joke, and when you don't know something you weren't trained on you get blamed for that as well. Policies beget policies that beget policies that all contradict each other to a point where nothing you do is correct. And again, mass lay offs, mass hiring, mass acquisitions, mass laying off said acquisitions, and as others said, in the midst of a global pandemic. When IXL buys companies, they're purely conquering their product and throwing them off to the way side to turn a profit for the absolute top. The people I work with on a daily basis enjoy working with me and compliment me on my performance constantly. But 9/10 times (being generous) I hear from anybody above our station it's rude and condescending. "Did you really.." "help me understand" etc. I'd understand if I was truly miserable at doing my job, but my coworkers, my quantifiable results (there are numbers to back up my labor) seem to be opposite of what I hear from management. I know for a fact that this is everyone on my team's experience and seems to be a lot of other reviews on glassdoor. It's like an abusive relationship, I keep staying because I think it will change. And it does change constantly, just always for the worst.
