Pros

Extremely long runways for career growth.

Many opportunities to learn soft skills and hard skills.

Many opportunities to get in front of senior leadership.

Immense variety of products and projects to work on.

Freedom to develop new processes and actually implement them.

Exciting to be at a hyper-growth tech company on the cutting edge of short-form media.

Fully paid health insurance with option to add coverage for domestic partners.

Competitive salary.

Cons

Early and late hours to accommodate for cross-functional partners around the world.

Exhausting performance review process twice a year.

Managers required to do forced distribution of performance scores, meaning both high and low performing teams expected to have the same number of under-performers and expectation-exceeders.

Extremely minimal communication from senior leaders; very busy schedules, no-shows for meetings.

No announcements of promotions or departures from the company as a general rule.
