Pros

Good benefits and time off Flex time Nice office space Stock options Some great people Cool product Work life balance

Cons

Very corporate even though they like to pretend otherwise Political with a good share of passive aggressive people Unorganized hr department No upward movement No real diversity Bad directors and management will stay forever because sr leaders don't want to admit they made hiring mistakes Low morale Individual contributors disappear .. Many times to cover tracks of manager Managers do not get reviews from direct reports Complete lack of organization across departments due to leaders who can't can't seem to get it together Overall this was ok for a minute , but has honestly been one of the most professionally unfulfilling, unmotivating places I have worked

Pros

Nice Offices and locations, good perks, casual dress, smart coworkers, great product, music culture.

Cons

Employee layoffs, mismanaged growth, no liquidity for vested stock options, declining stock price, no 401k matching by employer, lack of upward or lateral job mobility, ineffective past advertising campaigns, significant expenses with questionable returns. Many new employees were laid off shortly after being hired, which was sad to see.

Pros

Smart people, great product, and open culture. Working environment is great.

Cons

1. Bad vision on product road-map. Not consistent in the definition of future projects. 2. Growth too fast, hired too many people in the past two years. 3. Managers are playing politics more than focusing on product development. 4. Spent too much in marketing with little return. 5. Revenue is dropping resulting in layoffs.
