The mission is super motivating and rewarding; your work has obvious and tangible benefits for deserving creators and their communities.

The product direction is exciting and will place the company in more direct competition with the superpowers of the creator space.

The individual contributors and lower-level management are some of the most effective, enlightening, and empowering people you'll ever work with.

The top few layers of the org chart are totally inept.

There is totally erratic, directionless, and mindless decision-making across the board, from personnel (cough 3 huge rounds of layoffs in the past 2 years cough) to product (waiting for features to be fully developed before flippantly axing them).

There is zero recognition or trust in the talent they have beneath them, constantly subverting the authority and ownership of teams and their respective managers.

Any and all wrongdoings are, at best, atoned for with meaningless tokens or, at worst, spun into gaslighting corporate self-aggrandizement.

Work/life balance is appalling, having actively ignored all feedback given by employees relating to remote work, burnout, communication, etc.
