Pros
- Work home policy. But still not clear which teams HR is allowing to work from home post-pandemic - Going public means liquidity and a slight boost in team morale - A lot of politics here. It’s easy to be a low performer and coast if you know who to kiss up to. Many of us pick up the slack. Burn out is real - Culture used to be solid. Still a couple great people trying to keep culture alive. Good for them - We are winning in the space
Cons
- NO work-life balance. If you are on eng or data sci expect to be worked to the bone. If you care about your mental health, you should not join. You have been warned - Jr leadership means lack of focus on building culture - Which brings me to there is no culture. People are not excited to work here. Things have not been the same for awhile. - Eng feels underpaid, most people think about looking for jobs externally - There’s a lot of “we will follow up” from leadership with no follow-up. Leadership is afraid to answer hard questions live during Q&A so we don’t get straight answers to anything - Everyone good has left or is on their way out. Feel bad for recruiting team their efforts are a waste because we lose people too fast for new hires to mean anything. Lots of opportunity to move around though because there’s so much need and constant re-orgs happening. New blood seems solid though - Perf cycles are not 360 views. It’s just a big game of favoritism. Threaten to leave and you’ll get a promo however
