      Pros

      When I was there the culture was pretty good and they were an all remote company. Fidji Simo as CEO was also a big improvement over the prior one.

      Cons

      High turnover. Many executives left (including Fidji). Stock price has flat-lined. Difficult business. Customer backlash over hidden and excessive fees.
