Pros

Summer Fridays, intelligent coworkers, snacks

Cons

Everything you see on these negative reviews is true. There is no support in your professional development. They’ve chased away or laid off some of the smartest people at the company. The entire organization is a mess, especially the leadership. Everyone at the leadership level bends over backwards to appease the CEO. It is clear the CEO doesn’t trust anyone to do their job, because he throws a fit every time there’s a decision made that he doesn’t agree with and everyone under him has to scramble to make sure he’s on board. Leadership is driving this company into the ground and chasing away the most talented people here. The entire organization is wildly unprofessional. There is no structure to reviews cycles (most recently, it was pushed out 8 months with little to no communication), information is never consistent, and there is no transparency on how promotion decisions are made (lends to bias and favoritism). Do not believe what you see on LinkedIn. All of these posts come from a delusional leadership team that’s desperately trying to recruit talent onto a sinking ship. Most people here are not happy. Pay is not competitive to other companies of similar size. Some positions have absurdly high pay - just depends on who you know on top and how much they like you… not at all based on performance. This is what happens when your leadership team is a boys club comprised of white men.

Pros

Only 2 days in the office, friendly and talented co-workers, generous employee discounts (a lot of free product), and year-round "Summer Fridays"

Cons

Very small and under-resourced teams (you end up doing a lot of extra work), an unmotivating and unempowering work environment, an inexperienced CEO, an incompetent Marketing lead, so many long-time employees quitting or being let go, and the company "culture" (if you even want to call it that) has been going downhill for months
