If yolu're hired, there's now a high chance you'll be discarded without thought or reason

Pros

Incredible engineers Salary is fair An interesting product and evolution of product

Cons

Unlimited PTO that seems intentionally designed to sow confusion with unclear rules and social pressure that means most folks don't take the time off they want or even need. I have frequent conversations of "I need this time, but worried to even ask"

CEO that seems to thrive on gambling and talks about gambling and poker, and shares casino related metaphors was a big red flag after joining, and is getting tiresome pretty quick, the message it sends to staff is: I'll take a gamble, but it won't be me that pays the debt

Handled a round of layoffs badly by folks finding out by blog post, then apologised after the first one for handling badly (I joined around then and was a horrible environment), then laid 20% more staff off in a even worse way around 2 years later, and now the culture is horrific. Folks are burning out and high level senior folks are leaving and everyone is worried for the next "reorg" so folks are distracted trying to find other work in the meantime.

There was not much effort to have any kind of culture, at least on my team

Execs that "ship ship shipped" bad code and took little to no accountability when it went wrong, others fixed it

Unhappy managers that have way too many reports to effectively help anyone meaningfully.

Online community and fanbase was thriving but was dismantled to nothing

Huge hiring in Argentina and outside of US instead of hiring US citizens and helping our economy, they're looking for cheaper labor.
