Pros

No pressure to "know everything" - I was eased into my product area and my skill area with a ton of resources. You wonder if everyone is a happiness droid and realize very quickly - no, everyone is just super nice and smart and willing to listen to you and help you Flexibility - You are in control of yourself and if you need the morning to get some personal stuff done, do it. If you need to work remote b/c you miss your dog, do it. It's very liberating to work in an environment that values your independence and doesn't ask questions about it - you are responsible to get your own work done and b/c I don't have people questioning my work habits, I feel more empowered and energized to deliver better work for the team and our customers. It's a vibrant place to work and interact. There's an energy here.

Cons

It can be chaotic at times but honestly, I think this shows that there's a lot happening here. People are open to reflection and if you have an idea, you can run with it. That is empowering. But b/c everyone has ideas and can run with them - it can be challenging to figure out which thing to dive into - choice paradox... That being said, I will gladly take on this challenge to get the pros

I in particular love this callout, so thanks for sharing it: "If you need to work remote b/c you miss your dog, do it. It's very liberating to work in an environment that values your independence and doesn't ask questions about it." That perfectly embodies how we think about autonomy at scale, so I'm delighted you feel that way. I promise we won't stop with our energy to help people grow, and thank you so much for the energy you put into helping our organization deliver on its mission. Grateful that you're here and that you took the time to write this, thank you again! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
