      Pros

      Many great and brilliant people working in this company so you can learn a lot from them. 5 volunteer days/year.

      Cons

      The company is selling values such as trust, simplify, human and "we do the right thing" which are being enforced and required from employees however many leaders are not leading by example and seem to be exempt from applying them. Mandatory work schedule not flexible with employees lifestyle nor respectful of personal obligations, unnecessary 3 days/week office mandate. Being a large company you can expect a lot of bureaucracy, time wasted in meetings, hierarchy and lack of accountability.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
