Great People But Chaotic
- Very smart, nice, and helpful coworkers
- Culture was great until 2025
- Remote work
- Regular travel for team meetups
- Compensation near FAANG levels
- Endless reorgs and changes in priorities.
- Leadership is always obsessed with the latest new, exciting technology, which for now is AI.
- Constant turnover of management.
- Heavy performance management, including tracking PR counts and AI token usage.
- Layoffs every year, including a shocking 40% reduction in 2026.
- A combination of stack ranking and layoffs destroyed the great culture.
The business is very profitable ($10B net profit in 2025). There is no reason to panic and change everything constantly.
