Pros

Free (cheap) lunches / breakfast on some days (Sometimes) interesting projects ... but that'll not be the case in a month or so Can't think of any more Pros

Cons

Top management have no idea how to get out of the deeeeeep trouble they have gotten into and the only solution they are able to find is to fire employees to save money in near term Company is in worst hands in probably last 15 years of the history Wasted tons of money to come up with Elevated which no one uses / no one will use and the current eH employees have to suffer because of that

Pros

Nice people, although some of the best were just let go (we've had lay-off after lay-off) Convenient location - easy commute for most

Cons

Product is run like it's 2005 with no leadership and no vision. PMs just pick random projects, make dev work on them for 6 months, and then wait to find out what the data says - they all turn out horrible and we scrap the code. Tech is very outdated and slow No growth or learning opportunities. I've actually un-learned working here No innovation No leadership They just promote (men) with little to no experience in leadership roles

Thank you for your candor here. As I have said many times, I always welcome the opportunity for anyone in the company with ideas of how to improve our service to please come and talk to me, so I am encouraging you to share yours with me as well. I agree that several key aspects of the product absolutely needed to be brought up to speed. It’s not glamorous work, but it is necessary. This is why we scrapped Guided Communication and rebuilt comm. This might be where our agreement ends. With the product roadmap and projects like Premium and Favorites, we are seeing increases across the board in our important metrics. This tells me that we are on the right path. Getting the core product working as smoothly as possible is the first step. It might not be sexy, but it is critical.

Pros

- Competitive salary - Some very smart and nice people work here - Free food - Subsidized gym membership

Cons

- Layoffs every few months as a result of which every person is carrying a lot more weight - Executives do not seem to know what they are doing - Stone-age marketing. Who watches TV anymore! - Stressful work environment - No innovation in product

I am sorry you had a stressful experience, and I agree that reimagining the business and making substantial changes isn’t easy. The good news, which I shared yesterday with the team, is that after a year of very hard work and focus, our most important metrics are up year over year. Our marketing spend last quarter was the most efficient it has been in over a year. New product features, like Favorites and our overhauled communication, have significantly improved customer engagement and user experience.
