Pros

-Free book every month -Engaged D&I community -Genuinely great people to work with. I never met anyone that wasn't a pleasure to work with -Transparent with data -Overall a nice welcoming company culture

Cons

-Success/Support department is very metrics driven, and loses the sight of 'customer first' when the push is to hit you UoW (units of work) -no time for development for yourself (you get an extra hour a day to work on this) but reality is this time goes to trying to hit your UoW or juggling your queue -pay is still low for the amount of knowledge this role has and how important it is in the front line service -So many wonderful and smart people work in the department, but there isn't much room for upward mobility.

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.
