Wellness weekends (shared 4-day weekends across the company).
Feels like the immediate team cares about you, but definitely not leadership.
As far as I'm aware, recent layoffs had a nice severance (5 months). Unsure if it will be that way still going forward.
No recent salary increases. Pay is not as high as other companies. Bonus is only ever stock.
RTO mandate even though your team is in different states and countries, so you drive in for Zoom meetings. It also doesn't take into account PTO or sick days, so it encourages people to come in sick. (Told you have to "plan better" if you can't make minimum...). Half of your time will be meetings, more talking about how to do the work and not enough time to do it. PTO amount not super generous, wellness weekends help. Reorgs removed required roles that the business is not refilling, so more non-work is put on others outside of sprint commitments.
Remove RTO, or at least reduce the requirement.
If not, please stop calling yourself "human first."

Very sharp (smart) HR, brief phone interview. Nice, swift hiring manager, half-hour phone interview. Third step: onsite with engineers, architect, and upper managerial staff. Way nicer than what I expected reading Glassdoor reviews of other sites.
