Pros

I was a big fan of the product before working here, which tarnished that for me.

Cons

Really difficult to work here because the company direction changes so frequently. Whether it's investing in sports teams collabs, developing alternative apparel, selling devices to corporate businesses, selling to the public sector - company priorities (and headcount) change with the wind. A quick scroll thru the company's Linkedin over the past 12 months shows this. There was also no upward mobility or career path ever discussed.

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
