Pros

Nice office, a lot of paid holidays (25 days a year) but you're so busy that can't really take them all. If you're lucky to be in the right place in right time, you can get promoted fast but you can be fired fast as well depending on politics happening in the company. Salary is good and competitive. You learn a lot at your job and everybody is very smart in the office, lots of ex-Google, ex-FB and other people with good career track

Cons

Your life in company really depends a lot on your team. Good maternity benefits but life after coming back from maternity leave is so hard that many people leave or just can't stay any more. Business direction changes every half a year so there is no stability. In the last year company became very political so your success will depend on whom you get closed to

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
