Pros

- Decent pay - Friendly coworkers - Nice office - Zero stress

Cons

Inaction, nothing gets done. Lots of talk of doing things from leadership and then ... not doing things. Upper mgmt appears to not have coherent plans. At some point we presumably run out of money if we don't deliver and I guess then we do layoffs and/or go out of business. Hearing the same things from a lot of coworkers: having little to show for their time there, at what point does it make sense to get a new job, lack of career growth, confusion why no one high up will make/execute a plan, why is this allowed to continue/shouldn't someone be fired by now

Pros

Lots of smart individuals work here. Great snacks.

Cons

Company advertises an inclusive and positive culture but the actual experience is the opposite. Too many organizational changes occuring, lack of clarity in direction. Various individuals in leadership who have no idea what they're doing.

Pros

Great pay and benefits, amazing people, lunch and snacks, virtuous mission!! They used to be great, now they just mid

Cons

What's the deal with most of the execs? Some of them are clueless or too rude. And middle management? Don't even get me started. For people and planet? No, you are doing it for the board and investors, be straight about it. You could be better if you actually lived company values. Since the former CEO was let go, transparency tanked. They preach diversity and inclusion like crazy, but some of their actions tell a different story. It's mostly all talk, no walk. Same with this whole "empowerment" thing. They say they want us to take charge, but then leave us out of important decisions especially if you are not a white dude. And don't even get me started on the favoritism. It's like who you know, not what you know. Plus, they keep laying people off, including many experts and some of the best colleagues I had, which just piles more work on everyone else. It's getting ridiculous
