Pros

- The stock keeps going up - Decent job security during covid-19 crisis

Cons

- The core platform is antiquated and the work is boring - There is still a startup type atmosphere when it comes to work/life balance. Long hours with little recognition is typical for many and this has gotten worse recently as the company has gone 100% remote - Engineering teams are extremely political, lots of infighting and very little development going on - Awkward "woke" culture emanating from a power hungry HR department - Busy work is rewarded more than innovation; and it seems meritocracy has largely taken a back seat due to the points listed above

Pros

pay was solid. i guess you can get in at a good strike price if you receive a new grant now...

Cons

- Bill and p5 are busy living the high life at F1 races and concerts, while the operators get cut - Leaders have been told not to promote internally. Only external candidates, ideally from salesforce - we just cut 2500 people and leadership refuses to even acknowledge it - Refresh #s are low and we have been told additional stock grants for lower than VP will be <1/2 or 0 - we continue to move away from what our product can actually do now we are just building screens and selling an unrealistic dream
