Pros

Great brands to work with plus lots of hiring and plans for continued growth. There have been a number of changes over the last few years and it's all coming together in a positive new direction. The people are great, the projects are interesting, and there's a chance to own work that matters.

Cons

Yes, change takes time to take hold, but the vision is clear and the corner has been turned.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexible PTO and fully remote - Helpful coworkers - It’s a time of major change where we’re integrating all our different products

Cons

- Core product was built several years ago so the pace might seem really slow - salary is a bit low compared to big tech and is not cost of living adjusted

Ineffective, paranoid leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

World-class colleagues make it semi-tolerable

Cons

Our executive leadership team has fired or driven away our top talent over the course of the past two years. Now they have personally instituted a social media policy that forbids us from “liking” LinkedIn posts from former colleagues that work at “competitors”. They have made their bed but are afraid to sleep in it!!
