Pros

None anymore. We used to have a culture of transparency, UGJ (use good judgement) and work life balance. Now we just push AI slop because thats what leadership asks for. Customers dont like the product, CSAT scores are in the hole.

Cons

- Annual compensation reviews are gone. Getting a 1-2% increase with no equity grants is now the new norm as growth has slowed to 10% - Commiting AI slop that is reviewed by AI and causes incidents is promoted - CPO out of touch with employees - Awful business outlook, CEO is out of ideas

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
