Pros

The team is amazing and I feel like my management and coworkers all trust me to get the job done. I'm given a lot of autonomy, and of course I have the freedom to work when and where I want as long as I get my job done

Cons

Like many places, the processes are difficult to navigate and it takes a long time to get things done. Also, it's a public company now so many of the normal pains of public company life are experienced here too.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
