Pros

free therapy and 401(k) matching

Cons

Overall folks love their managers, and managers really go to bat for their reports, but they are largely powerless. In spite of doing well financially and more than meeting financial goals, bonuses were taken away, raises are insultingly low, compensation is below market, and they still are not spending any real effort on retaining talent and domain knowledge. Company hired a bunch of agile professionals and now seems to be largely ignoring them and inventing new ways of disguising waterfall. Morale is very low in engineering, maybe in other departments too. Hard to financially justify staying when you can make at least 30k more elsewhere and probably get bonuses on top of it.

Misguided leadership, favoritism, no communication

Pros

While not a very diverse company racially, they do a decent job of hiring people of different ages. Some of the teams have thoughtful leadership. People are generally kind and considerate. Shout out to the talent team for bringing in good people.

Cons

SonderMind has a communication issue. None of the departments talk to each other. This leads to doubling up on work, squabbling over who runs a project, or completely dropping the ball because no one knows what their job is. They also hire so many directors and managers without hiring more staff to support existing individual contributors who are being asked to do too much and being burned out. The C suite is detached and demanding.
