Pros

A lot of great people still, particularly in IC and low level manager roles. This USED TO be an amazing place to work with industry leading salaries, generous equity/ benefits, fun workplace culture and a management team that trusted their employees

Cons

Almost impossible to get promoted, equity is a joke, pay is stagnant. Anyone who complains gets shown the door immediately. Constant turnover and reorg means a lot of ineffective managers who don't really know what they're doing. Confusing direction New management team has no personality and doesn't even bother to pretend to really care about the people/culture– the only messaging that comes across is that they are here to enrich TB and themselves along the way. For anyone thinking of joining, there is nothing in it for you...why deal with all of this just to make someone else money?

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
