Pros

I love the products and the fast-paced/innovative environment that brings variety or change, to me it keeps everything more exciting. I really enjoy working here due to this. There are aggressive timelines while maintaining the highest quality so there are some late days in the office, but I also have no problems leaving earlier on days so I do not miss my kids activities. It is balanced with how much time in the office and if I leave early I just finish my work in the evening if needed. It can be easy to work 24/7 if you do not make the balance work. I have met some really bright and passionate people here. We work hard but we find time to make it fun. It probably varies a little by department. I love the free breakfast on Friday's and endless free coffee (many varieties) in the kitchens. The gym is the largest I have seen for a corporate gym, but I have not used it yet. Benefits are also the best I have experienced anywhere (medical coverage is fantastic). One more thing, it is a casual dress work environment... even the CEO and President will wear jeans.

Cons

The PTO policy should and needs to be stronger whereas the rest of the benefits are top notch.

Pros

Impactful work from Day 1 and a great learning experience

Cons

If you are not in the headquarter office, you may miss out on some networking opportunities but the early talent team do their best in providing as many opportunities as possible.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
