Pros
  • The community and product
  • Wonderful colleagues
  • Wonderful ERGs and people partners
  • Interesting projects
  • Remote-friendly
Cons
  • Starting in management and going upwards, things do not feel good.

  • Completely agree with the other 1-2 star reviews. It feels like a toxic relationship, the culture is poor, and leadership decisions can cause high churn for often unclear gain. There is not a good work-life balance.

  • Poor empathy from leadership and management downwards. There are harsh occurrences of colleagues being managed out, asked to quit, or fired, and issues announcing departures with appropriate teams. There are poor feedback loops and poor coaching from management.

  • Poor career growth, especially compared to other top tech companies. The performance review system is still pretty new.
