Pros

Great salary Flexibility : 100% remote work An amazing HR team who supported me during/after the layoffs

Cons

When I joined the company and there wasn't a Manager onboarding: no structured support neither for me, consequentially, not my team (my peers alone couldn't take care of my onboarding despite their efforts). No career development plan was in place, neither for me nor my team (as management team we started working on the BDM one but I'm not aware if, eventually, as been put in place). The communication was, at all level, problematic: lack of it, not enough transparency. After aggressive layoffs, they called employees back showing lack of long term perspectives in their decisions and poor understanding of the markets needs. Poor attention, from several team members, to inclusive language (which wasn't called out from senior management). Above all, poor resources management: they had great people whose talent wasn't seen, recognized and nurtured.

Pros

- Easy to climb the ladder if you're a leadership favorite. - If you're a cis white fe/male you'll be able to promote. - People try to act nice.

Cons

- DEI removed and no longer practiced. Documented cases of discrimination leading to termination. No plans to address. - People leadrship doubles down on ignorant leadership. - Tons of things done to seem like they're checking a box or have a defense against litigation. - PTO removed for FTO to clear balances for investors. - Stock constantly going down due to chaotic leadership unclear of what to do. - Favoritism puts up blinders and people hindering the culture are praised and rewarded. - Pay for performance culture but given all the issues stated (and wait, there's more!) tends to not apply. Also the pay is low, they only target the 50th percentile. - High performers are more like high whiners. - Pushing AI so heavily, tracking token usage and tying that to outcomes biasedly. - Lack of proper data collection & analysis. - People run off vibes and guesses rather than actual analysis.
