Pros

I was able to relocate out of state very easily. Didn’t impact my salary and made my schedule better as I more easily aligned with essential meetings. I had some great cross functional peers and partners that enabled us to get things over the line.

Cons

Ivory tower leadership at its best. Leadership is disconnected and very removed from what’s going on in frontline and showed consistent lack of care and concern there. Zero support for middle management who are doing the big lifting of objection handling and performance management to align large groups of people to company goals. Faux/performant partnerships with HRBPs who constantly red tape any initiative to drive accountability across teams and reinforce a vapid culture of WLB that protects under performers and burns out top performers. The blame culture is pervasive and unlike any other place I’ve worked.

Really sorry to read of this, and I echo your note on the importance of staying close to the front lines and listening to them as we grow. Sadly not much we can do about your experience, but will pass it along to our team to ensure we are thoughtful about what we can glean from it. Sincerely, 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.
