Pros

The people: team members are really lovely and genuinely decent people.

Cons

Pay: Basic in comparison to other tech companies. The pay made sense when they had better benefits but now, there's no incentive to stay in the company. Internal Mobility: There is none unless you're one of the "accepted ones" that follows along with the politics and inequality in the company. New roles rarely come up and when they do you have to jump through 1001 stages to get into a role that you've already done and where you're left telling the manager how the job should be done. Benefits: They take away unlimited time off and mask it as giving managers and employees better control of when they take holidays. It's a cost cutting exercise so just be honest about it. Don't punish the company because one person couldn't use better judgement at governing a team's annual leave. Leadership: There is no one inspiring to work for anymore. Some of the senior managers in the positions they're in have barely done the job themselves and no experience in the role they're dictating strategies for. This is clear from them changing their strategies every 6 months. Some managers are genuinely fantastic but they're restricted by senior management that have no clue what they're doing, drinking the cool aid and lead with toxic positivity.

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.
