Pros

Free lunch. No other positives I can think of.

Cons

Poorly run and managed. It was a very hostile work environment. Felt as though you couldn't even trust mansgement with your concerns. The office was overrun with mean girls. Management was so busy that employees did whatever they wanted on the floor which mostly consisted of standing around and gossiping. If you worked and minded your business you were treated as if there was something wrong with you. Promotions were given based on favortism and not based on merit. Computer systems are old and outdated. IT department is very inefficient. System would be down all say and we'd be forced to sit there all day and wait for it to come back up. Some issues took days to fix. Which causes the company to lose money. Take positive reviews with a grain of salt as at review time employees are encouraged to write a positive reviews about the company to help their ratings. The negative ones are very true. This company is not worth the aggravation. I should have believed what I read and saved myself the grief of even coming here.

Pros

Recently joined - Kaz is fantastic. There's been basically no blockers to us shipping. Very long hours but you can feel the impact in the work you're doing

Cons

Not much right now. Things are a little chaotic but that's what I signed up for. EPD leadership is maybe a little lacking

Pros

Meaningful problems to solve. Stock upside with right macro. Aggressive AI usage

Cons

996 / hustle culture amongst newer folks. Love having motivated teammates but the comp is B-tier at best (unless you’re the CEO, at 4371x the avg employee) New product folks are a mixed bag. Some work really hard and are super sharp. Some talk about working hard and take credit for product work from others. SF office dying through firing and resignations - expect to be asked to visit Miami and Toronto frequently. Tenured employees seem to be assumed to be low performers
