Pros

The product is outstanding. The environment is very inclusive. They seem to want to do the right thing most of the time.

Cons

Disagreement is not well-tolerated.

They value process over results.

Pay is low. They attempt to convince you that equity compensation is better.

Management has increasingly used performance improvement plans (PIPs) as an alternative to layoffs, which can feel underhanded.

Advice to Management

Create safe and regular channels for employees to provide 360-degree feedback. Ensure the feedback is actively listened to and followed up with meaningful action.
