Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pros: Well-built management team that truly seems to value work-life balance.
Industry-leading benefits.
Seems to remain committed to a virtual-first commitment (despite cutting some of the benefits).
Reasonably flexible working hours with core hours for meetings.
Quarterly paid on-sites to hang out with your team and get to know each other better.
Working among some of the best and brightest, alongside a very strictly curated culture. I can genuinely say I enjoy working alongside my teammates.
Continues to try and innovate (occasionally at their detriment, see cons).
Cons: - Pivots too soon on bets, feels like we're chasing the industry rather than innovating.
- Recent instability at the company and current "Moving Faster" directive has employees on edge.
- You can definitely feel it in the atmosphere during meetings.
- Upper management should recognize the remaining employees deserve some sort of morale booster after recent RIF, rather than further cuts to benefits.
- You will not pull in industry-leading talent if your employees aren't your advocates.
