Pros: It’s been a hot minute since my zipline days and reminiscing on how special those days were encouraged me to write this. I don’t think I appreciated how direct of an impact each of us was having nor how special the team really was.

Cons: I worked my butt off and we were stretched thin

Pros: - Some teams are full of good and smart people who are doing their best. - Newer employees are well intentioned and hopeful. - The mission and tech used to be very cool.

Cons: - chaos. Absolute and utter chaos. Changes in vision, direction, teams, leadership - everything, leading to a large scale disillusionment with the potential future success of the business (my personal outlook on that is negative)- Every single employee is overworked and stressed, and this frequently makes people unkind to their colleagues, all stemming from unrealistic top-down demands- some of the most nonsensical layoffs I have ever encountered. Entire mission-critical teams gutted for seemingly no reason. Can’t help but feel like the goal is to instill fear- women and minorities are consistently disrespected and pushed out of the company. I imagine that they have more EEOC claims than the legal team can handle at the moment (because all the lawyers left)- all of the good employees are leaving as fast as they can (including senior leadership and people with 5+ years tenure).

Pros: Stock options Snacks Handful of decent people

Cons: Hustle culture here is extreme. Upper mgmt is held at the gun by a ruthless CEO who demands results no matter the cost. This trickles down and results in a culture of animosity blame and scapegoating. I've seen so many good people cycled in and out of this place for frivolous reasons. Basically it's all FUBAR. If you value your time, soul and family stay far away.
