Pros

The product definitely has potential. It’s complex, with some genuinely interesting challenges to work through. There are a lot of sharp engineers on board. The product team’s a bit of a mixed bag—some folks come off as a bit elitist and can be pretty tough on their teammates, while others are down-to-earth, talented, and eager to collaborate

Cons

Used to be a place where work-life balance was genuinely respected. Lately, though, it feels like it’s all about optics and looking busy. The pay’s not amazing, and that whole “top place to work” thing feels more like branding than reality. Leadership can be a bit all over the place, but somehow it’s the folks on the ground who end up taking the blame. I’m a bit disappointed, and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this as a healthy place to work

Pros

Unfortunately, not many since the company has shifted priorities, post layoffs. Good work/life balance but depends on your role

Cons

Lack of employee development due to lack of bandwidth for leaders, new shift in performance management allows leaders to let employees go without development paths, there's a push to work harder and move faster creating a toxic work environment.
