Indeed

Their central motto is "We help people get jobs."

Every big meeting opens with that. It's very heart-warming and motivational.

Almost everyone who wants can work remotely. If you do go into the office, there are free meals and snacks. In theory, there's unlimited PTO.

They did a huge layoff in March 2023. Then another in May 2024.

Over that year, the company has become a miserable place to work. They've switched to a very top-down bureaucracy where clueless directors dictate product direction with no justification. Then they scramble the org structure so all the priorities change every few months.

And they decide how ratings will be decided at the end of the quarter (or maybe every 6 months...that also keeps changing).

You put a lot of time and effort into hiring excellent engineers. Trust them to make technical decisions.

If you're going to pretend to be a data-driven company, that means your decisions should be driven by data, not just "it's industry standard." Every experiment should start with the success criteria.

Far too often, low-level product managers wind up making something up to justify the whim of some director who thinks something seems shiny.

And please let the CS people work from home.
