Process
I had an initial phone call with the recruiter. We seemed to connect, and he said he would get in touch with me regarding next steps and interviews over the next few days. However, he stopped responding to my emails and messages after that.
It's okay if you think a candidate isn't a good fit, but please have the courtesy and spine to communicate that to the candidate.

Great People, Low Morale
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
March 28, 2023
Pros: Great people at the company, good environment to work in.
Cons: Now that multiple layoffs have happened, employee morale is low, according to my friends that are still within the company. No one wants to go in; no one wants to do anything anymore. This is because they laid off a total of 28% of the company, which is a lot when the company is just about 9000 employees.

Awkward transition phase of hypergrowth, but still a great place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
January 13, 2022
Pros: Great trust in the CEO and management team, and great people to work with. Awesome vision. High chance of being a generational opportunity and a household-name company. Great work-life balance.
Cons: Massive growing pains for the last couple years that they're having trouble addressing.
Put simply, it's not as wonderful a place to work as it used to be, if you're used to small companies.
If you're willing to be a cog in the machine, you'll be fine.
They will probably manage to address them eventually (or perhaps slow the pace of growth), and it'll be a better place to work once again.
