Pros

People. Most amazing talented people I've ever had the chance to work with. Fun environment.

Cons

Most departments are run by young people, when older folks come to talk about their needs they are mostly not taken seriously. Some inappropriate behavior/comments/suggestions from management can be seen when alcohol is involved. Sometimes it feels like the company is trying to hard to look like a grown-up company but the actions to achieve that are not quiet right.

I agree with the talent of people and with the value of current employee feedback, but I'm really saddened by your feedback around feedback and suggestions and around drinking, specifically anyone being asked to keep who they are on the low, that's the exact opposite of the type of authenticity and inclusivity we are trying to build here. If you're up for chatting in person, would welcome the opportunity to do so--thanks as always for the feedback to help us improve as we grow. -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
