Pros

The job itself can be exciting, interesting approach for management style. Remote option is great! There were many nice, ambitious and talented people - before layoffs happened.

Cons

Only been here for 2 years but this company has been doing a MAJOR shift. Used to be a caring, friendly company with lots of talent and very nice initiatives for employee wellbeing. But right now the gap between what is being said - everything is amazing - and the reality of employees is massive! C-level management seems to be completely disconnected from it's employees - this urgently needs to be fixed or it's is not gonna end well. Very sad to see this happening.

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”
