Growth happens here, but appreciation might be better elsewhere
Pros
One of the things I really appreciated was getting to collaborate with some incredibly smart and passionate people. There’s a lot of room to learn and grow if you seek it out. And I truly believe in the products — they’re meaningful and do make a difference in people’s lives. Leadership can vary by department, but there are some teams that seem to have a clear sense of direction from the top. If you end up in one of those, it can make a big difference in your day-to-day experience. Remote work is sometimes an option if you are from out of town. It seems like a lot of people work remotely, and if you’re someone who thrives independently and can deliver, it can be a great setup. The three days a week in-office schedule was honestly great — it gave me the focus and head-down time I needed on Mondays and Fridays to be truly efficient and productive. The benefits are pretty solid, with good healthcare coverage and helpful perks
Cons
There’s definitely a bit of a “popularity contest” culture. If you’re not part of the inner circle, you start to notice it within a few months. And if you are, it’s probably wise to hold onto that spot. Micromanagement was noticeable, and it felt like some higher-ups might prefer less flexibility, even though many people across the company work fully remote. The main priority seems to be making money — which is understandable — but it often feels like that comes at the expense of efficiency or recognizing employee contributions. There’s not always a clear connection between doing amazing work and being valued for it. There’s an unspoken pressure to go above and beyond — to the point where burning out feels normalized. People who push themselves to exhaustion are often praised, which can make it hard to set boundaries or prioritize your personal well-being. Outsourcing is fairly common, and while I’m sure it makes sense financially, I felt it lead to confusion and gaps in communication. Oddly, some people seem scared to leave. There’s this emotional stickiness to the place — like you know it’s time to move on, but still feel guilty. It’s hard to explain, but it almost felt like breaking away from something much more personal than just a job. Take the unlimited PTO with a grain of salt
