Pros

- Amazing co-workers, humble, smart, collaborative and passionate about company mission - Culture, benefits and ERGs - Brand awareness, mission-driven (or atleast used to be)

Cons

- Trail of broken promises. CEO assured employees we wouldn’t have layoffs, and then laid off 20% of the company. - New top-heavy management, almost every one was a former Amazon-exec. - Poor decision making on who should be laid off. - Tech is not innovative or even as good as our competitors despite what our marketing will have you believe. - Comp isn’t great and too many people keep leaving all-year round. - A lot of in-fighting between teams. Lack of strong tech and commercial leadership.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
