Pros
I'm sharing my review because I believe candidates deserve a measured perspective and honest take that's not clouded by reactionary responses due to some recent very poor reviews on here. Burying them under 5 star reviews isn't going to appear genuine. Here's what great: - Fantastic team of individual contributors made up of smart, capable people who are also really nice and fun - Really great team leaders at the Director and VP levels across most departments. These are the leaders employees look up to and choose to stay for. They've achieved amazing things in the last year and have grown their teams in both size and with considerable internal promotions - A really good product that makes us a market leader in the space + focused on doing innovative stuff - Flexibility in terms of time off, WFH (pre-covid), remote work, and needing to get other things done. You're treated like a grown up
Cons
- Yes, it's harder for women here and it's especially hard for women in leadership roles - Yes, the C-Suite (CEO and President) is a problem from both a gender bias perspective and a top-down, controlling perspective that hinders the work and growth teams could be achieving if allowed - Lots of growing pains around establishing processes and discipline operationally - Leadership needs to be better at the 'why' of everything and inspiring employees to really care + leaves a lot of important initiatives or projects to the last minute which puts pressure on employees who need to execute - A huge product means lots of work all the time that can feel like triaging / fire drills. It can also mean employees are stuck in the day-to-day without the ability to think and plan for career growth and skill building - Benefits like parental leave were introduced too late and offer too little
