Pros

I get to see fully naked salaries of everyone who is in Silicon Valley. We personally use to poach candidates whom we think are far below market & pay them marginally better -- makes my hiring easy

Cons

Undoing Silicon Valley shot at wealth creation, which was because people were awarded generous equity for the risk/courage they took. This tool instead of helping people, helps companies to be stingy & rather promotes it showcasing this is the bare minimum you should be giving out, if you feel awful about it, look there are 9 other companies doing so. Obnoxious.

Pros

- colleagues were nice, talented people - product growth - good customer traction

Cons

- lack of company direction and diversity, high turnover in leadership. for the past few years, leadership has been mostly men. we had a VP of engineering for half a year and there was no transparency around why he left. there seems to be a pattern of them promoting from within to fill spots - work life balance is not great. heavy workload on small teams. expectations to work off hours. pay might seem good initially, isnt great after considering amount of hours worked weekly - little to no opportunity for personal growth. had many manager changes. there was a career ladder in place although I never knew where I stood and feedback was limited. people seem to leave after 2/3 years due to this - negative culture. not a company that values feedback. there seems to be one way of doing things and people dont feel comfortable sharing opinions since they arent valued. definitely a "bro culture" - no hr team for over a year. not sure what happened but guessing they did not align with these points - retention issues. sensed low morale from engineering side
