Pros

There are very smart and dynamic people (leaders and individual contributors) that you get to work with and learn from. The group I worked with had a number of 10x engineers from whom I learned to evolve my thinking about systems, automation and developer experience. Many of them are still around so I'm pretty sure that the they are maintaining the high standards of engineering.

Cons

Till the day I got laid off in April I was probably wearing rose tinted glasses and didn't see it coming. The manner in which the layoff happened was very cold which felt very much against the values that I had seen exhibited in the 2 years that I was there. The realities of P&L and balance sheets and delayed IPO can do that. Therefore the company isn't what it used to be in terms of the culture.

Pros

• Some talented and hardworking colleagues (though many have already left). • Modern offices. • If the job market weren’t so tough, most remaining employees would likely move on.

Cons

• Dishonesty from leadership: The CEO explicitly stated in a town hall that there would be no layoffs, only for 17% of the company to be laid off a month and a half later. Employees were abruptly locked out of systems with no chance to even say goodbye to long-time colleagues. • Empty promises year after year: Leadership repeatedly claims transparency and paints an unrealistic growth picture during annual meetings. None of these projections materialize, yet the same narrative is repeated the next year. • Toxic culture: The once-promoted “great culture” has deteriorated into employees competing against each other, stressed managers pushing impossible workloads, and a constant fight for survival. • Lack of vision: The company feels like a sinking ship - no clear strategy, no compelling roadmap, and decisions that alienate both hosts and guests who are supposed to be at the heart of the marketplace model. • Outdated technology: Core backend systems still run on Java 8 (released in 2014), reflecting how little priority leadership gives to modernization. • High attrition: Many great people have already left, and morale among those who remain is extremely low.
