Pros: Smaller company, impact of my individual work is magnified. Collaboration between teams is amazing. The leads care about my growth and are providing learning opportunities on an everyday basis. The gym in SF is a perfect size. Only a 5-minute walk from the train station. Work-life balance is recognized by leadership.

Cons: The food is too good.

Pros: It was a decent place to work before 2020. I really enjoyed working with the staff. The founders and CFOs are great!

Cons: The managers they hired during shelter in place did not understand the culture. Serious politics where the bros get ahead and are promoted for being the manager's favorite. Do not trust HR or the diversity initiatives. People are promoted if they are well liked, and those people undermine the people doing the work. Females are hired below their appropriate job level, and reviews are full of manager bias. The criteria for leveling up is if your manager likes your personality or, in my case, if you just agree with all of the bad decisions he makes based on opinions of non-experts. It was very demoralizing to tolerate the unprofessional banter and blatant exclusion. If you are female, it is very likely you will be passed over for promotion while your male co-workers get ahead. Upper management needs to hold middle managers accountable. Listen to long-term, loyal employees when they tell you their manager is lying and retaliating. This was my dream job that turned into a nightmare that set my career back. And this is due to one manager and a few bad actors.

Pros: Good benefits. Some teams have good culture, while others don't. It's a very humanized company to work for amongst all tech companies. Good work-life balance. It used to be a great company.

Cons: Constant reorgs at the leadership level, lack of direction and CEO involvement, nepotism in many departments. The top is too hands off. Two layoffs so far, despite promises and stable cash flow.
