Pros

- Work on one of the hottest tools in tech. - Work with some of the most talented people I've ever been around. - All remote culture (if that's for you). - Excellence as a principle. The most transparent organization I've ever been apart of.

Cons

- The most politically correct organization I've ever been apart of. I understand the idea of honoring others, but many of the rules that we have are just obnoxious and aren't even beneficial. - Unlimited PTO, but a lot of people can't take PTO because of job demands (I am in sales).

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.
