Pros

Supportive manager and teammates. Some smart co-workers. Good perks such as untracked PTO, mega backdoor Roth, multiple time offs a year, and lots of company swags. Good WLB.

Cons

Pay is below average.

Lots of turnover this past year, with tons of C-level execs, VPs, and ICs quitting.

Not so transparent C-level.

The quality of new hires keeps going down.

The company burns a lot of money on events, parties, celebrity speakers, conferences, etc., but also manages to underpay employees.

The company and the extremely vocal cohort of employees (typically on the Slack channels) very often make very bold statements on sensitive, touchy, social, and political polarizing subjects, and this has made the company an uncomfortable place for everyone who doesn't agree with them.

Advice to Management

Replace yourselves
