Polished exterior, opaque pay, and a culture that grinds people down
Pros
Genuinely good, hardworking people — though they're scattered thinly across teams, so you rarely get to work closely with them.
Cons
The diversity and culture the company projects externally doesn't match the internal reality. People fear losing their jobs to arbitrary management decisions and one-way feedback processes with no recourse. New employees sign and are asked to leave every few months. Teams are not consulted on if the new managers are working out — feedback only flows downward and probably dependent on how much time you spend sucking up. There's an underlying fakeness that colors most interactions. Serious issue with company's focus being almost entirely reactive — obsessing over competitors and market capture while product innovation lags behind the very competitors referenced every day. Long hours are framed as a sign of winning, but there are no winners when people don't enjoy working with their colleagues. The people who thrive long-term here tend to be those willing to tolerate or perpetuate the dysfunction themselves.
