Pros

Unlimited PTO Great Health Benefits

Cons

This company is like a bad relationship. At first you think that it's great with all the "friendly" people but then small things start popping up after a year or so. Until you're having panic attacks caused by management

Not great

Pros

It is just okay; I have worked for other tech companies with a way better culture, management, and career growth, which is why it is OK. It is a remote-first company, so there can be flexibility in your work day that you may need; for exempt employees, there are unlimited vacation days. There are some wonderful contributors and teammates that are very talented. Some teams seem to have a great team culture within their department, but there is a significant disparity depending on the department's leaders for other teams.

Cons

Many silos make collaboration inefficient, and getting information is so difficult. You can go on a long easter egg hunt to find the correct information or person you need to speak with. You would think they would offer a bonus structure at this company stage, but they don't. For performance reviews, my manager told me that no one gets "exceeding, "even though they said my work was exceeding, but they were directed not to give that as a score. So it feels like a hamster wheel of delivering an exceeding performance but never being rewarded or promoted. They also constantly say there needs to be a business need for a promotion, yet there is no clear communication on what the business need is, and business needs are constantly changing. In some departments, there is a lot of misogyny, even at the very top, and no clear path to career growth and promotions; most of the company values are very male-dominated language: "Run through walls" or "Raise the bar." They preach that their company culture supports diversity but has no focus on DEI. All communication for company announcements or organizational changes is done through Slack, making it difficult to find any message because there are many Slack channels and messages to sort through. Their internal communication systems and processes are lacking.
