San Francisco, California, United States
February 8, 2014
Pros: Live in San Francisco
High pay
Weekly talks
Good culture
Cons: I did not enjoy what I was working on.
There was a weird dichotomy between well-treated software engineers (e.g., we got field trips and free lunch on Fridays) and poorly treated sales people.

Wfh, But Toxic Management

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
June 5, 2024
Pros: - Good benefits.
- It is a work-from-home environment.
Cons: They perform silent layoffs and are not honest about the whole situation. Before they lay you off, they make your life a living hell. This happened to a lot of people I know.
Very bad management. If you are lucky, you can be in a good team with a good manager. However, some teams have terrible managers without any experience.
