Pros

The people here are some of the most genuine and hard-working I've ever met. The company lives up to it's motto of "Use Good Judgement" far better than Google's "Don't be evil". There are almost no secrets within the company, trust is huge here. The tech stack is great, red tape is minimal, cross-team collaboration is the norm.

Cons

Current location is a bit crowded because we're growing so quickly. The soda fountain doesn't have orange soda.

"Trust is huge here" is a great way of putting this, and while I'm not sure I can solve the orange soda dilemma permanently, it does seem like an Orange Soda celebration is in order soon--I'll see if we can put it on the list for the next company meeting for refreshments, thanks for the feedback! -Katie Burke

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.
