      absolutely toxic culture

      Pros

      Decent benefits, provide lunch every Wednesday.

      Cons

      Extreme micromanagement and horrible cargo cult agile practices in the engineering organization. As a manager, you are given no autonomy to make decisions and have to endure unnecessary meeting after unnecessary meeting to move things along at even a glacial pace. Company morale is extremely low and there is 0 opportunity for technical or professional growth, avoid working here if you are looking to grow in any way.

      Do the math - more people leave than join

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay: they can't get anyone to take an open role here. As an applicant, the benefit to you is that you can ask for 20-30% higher than market rate and can likely get it. Advice: take that higher-than-market rate and use it to get a raise from your current employer or against another offer. Benefits: they pay full for individual benefits. Parking: parking is paid for in full

      Cons

      Everything else. There's no much in the way of leadership or culture at this company. The executives are great at flip-flopping and not knowing how to take our mediocre product and make it something competitive. The culture is a toxic wasteland. I work in the business operations/marketing side of the house which is bad, but not as bad as the engineering/product org (thank goodness they are in another building). Those guys managed to shut down product innovation for more than a year and now we are even further behind than we used to be. Layoffs are a yearly (if not an every 6 month) kind of thing here. Since so many people are leaving each week you likely won't have to worry about them for a while. I remember when we had an executive team that knew what they were doing with big ideas and ways to disrupt the market. The former CEO was an idea guy with a little craziness added (think a shade of Elon Musk). The new CEO plays it safe. I have no faith in this leadership team that they can turn this ship around. They have been given enough leeway it is time to move on.

      Negative culture in product and tech

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      On the surface, things seem really easy going, but under the hood, expect people bad mouthing each other, no one going to anyone directly for input or feedback, but performance is taken on hear-say, not actual facts. If people like you, you will do well, if people don't like you, then run for the hills.

      Cons

      Management is completely disengaged and not involved
