Pros

- Yearly book budget. - No Commute - Learning/conference budget - Long exercise Window on equity - Wellness like spending account

Cons

- Empty offering of performance coaches unless in leadership. - The company doesn’t embrace a remote-first culture but still demands constant sync meetings, making it inefficient and misaligned with the way remote teams operate effectively. - Leadership failed to take ownership for unrealistic timelines they set, instead placing the entire burden on employees to manage the fallout.

Pros

- There are a fair amount of smart people at the company and many are good people - The company might eventually IPO and get you a return, although the dollar value of options granted to new employees is quite low - You can write Go

Cons

- Upper management is a self-congratulatory echo chamber - Most middle-management is not effective. There is a mix of those who are well intended and overburdened, and some who are straight up incompetent and thrive due to being able to project themselves well upward - Weekly forced kool aid all company standup. It is pretty gross if you are a critical thinker - Advertised coaching system and associated functions simply serve to provide validation to upper management. It is an echo chamber - Top performers, A players have two choices: integrate into the top layer and pretend and/or try your best to maximize productivity and find yourself frustrated by those who derive value from being blockers and posturing - Some inexperienced and mid tier caliber people who are a bit big fish in a small pond - Many people high up in the company think that they are experts, but in reality have low experience level and derive lessons only from a single toxic environment.
