Pros: - Super interesting and challenging product - Smart engineers around

Cons: The middle management I worked with reacts to feedback in a highly unprofessional manner. Instead of working to improve, they blame you for not being a good fit for the environment (their exact words). The hypocrisy of middle management is striking. They may give you positive feedback in person, but provide a completely different assessment to your direct manager or other internal stakeholders. Moreover, you have no visibility into this hidden feedback. The incompetence of middle management (the so-called “roadmap keepers”) is evident. The long-term roadmap changes constantly, often without any clear reason. You might plan a major strategic piece of work and start executing it, only for it to be suddenly deprioritized. Then, after switching to something else, that same deprioritized initiative might reappear as the top priority. This is not the expected agility of working with a backlog in response to new requirements or customer feedback. I’m talking about large strategic initiatives planned on a quarterly basis that keep shifting without justification. The salary is fairly average. They expect you to work as if you were in a FAANG company, yet they are unwilling to compensate you accordingly.

Pros: Smart and nice colleagues to work with.

Cons: Leadership makes bad decisions. Low pay. Many people left.

Pros: Nice SF office, good RSUs. Interesting business.

Cons: This company has a lot of DEI nonsense, micro-aggressions, and other stupid, pointless CYA training. There are much bigger, fundamental issues to be dealt with, like just having the team understand the business and the strategy. The culture is schizophrenic; it depends who your boss is. In my career, I have not worked at such a messed-up organization trying to be all things to everyone. Just run the business! Way too soft and pandering to the millennials who think they are owed something by the company. It's a job, not a social club. The self-entitlement is unbelievable. Unless you really need a job, avoid this company.
