Pros

The pay is really good. They have fun retreats!

Cons

Where do I start. Senior managers are fired every other quarter so there’s no process in Product. The concept of a backlog, an organized roadmap that is committed to, or any type of organization was thrown out the window ages ago. Product/Engineering leadership in the C-suite has a fascination with humiliating, bullying, and upsetting his employees. The head of legal was also insufferable. Their hostile attitudes and mood swings / uncalled rudeness attest to the character of the CEO, who talks a good talk for public relations but is equally emotionally unstable. One day he’s nice, the next he’s insulting his employees and down talking their decisions. DON’T work here. It ruined my confidence as a young professional and I developed anxiety and resentment for the workplace when I worked here.

Pros

- Competitive base salary - When the product works, it creates real value for customers and solves meaningful problems - Opportunities to travel and work directly with Fortune 100 brands - Some incredibly talented people genuinely care about building something great

Cons

- Employees quickly become numbers in a culture of digital Taylorism. Even top performers are expendable. I was recognized as a Presidents Club recipient and laid off just three weeks later. In 4.5 years, I had seven different managers. - The company markets itself as a veteran-owned, mission-driven business, but decisions are overwhelmingly driven by growth and shareholder value. The veteran identity is a marketing strategy rather a genuine internal commitment. - OTE compensation plans are overly complex, frequently change, and make it difficult to understand or accurately predict earnings. - The company is effectively run around one person’s ego. Senior leadership seems more focused on reinforcing it than challenging it.
