Pros

- great teammates - line managers are usually great - benefits: unlimited PTO, 6 months parental leave, great insurance - history of openness means that long time employees are not shy about calling out bad decisions

Cons

- reorgs happen at least once per year leaving teams without direction for literal months - SLT is not held accountable for mistakes - claims to be a tech company but hasn't had a CTO in over a year without looking - controversial changes are announced at the last minute and usually half baked (ex: review process changes the week of reviews) - SLT frequently denies reality despite written evidence (ex: there is stack ranking but leaders repeatedly deny when confronted in all hands) - still too much middle management even after layoffs, many have no idea about reality "on the ground" and it really shows at the VP+ levels - slowly rolling back benefits

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
