Pros

- Free snacks. - Insurance. - Transportation cover. - Good office facilities. -Good office location. - Fun events. -Many holidays.

Cons

-The pay is extremely low. Most of the people that leave for similar roles to the other companies get 50% + their salaries. -No matter how hard you try and study- moving to a different role is pure luck. Often, instead of promoting you for your hard work and dedication, they would hire a new person from outside. These things demotivate a lot. -Very different standards. They celebrate everything, except Christmas (correct: Winter Holiday). Especially in US offices. I've heard stories about how people were reported to HR for having different Christmas attributes. -The first two years were fun. But then they started putting politics everywhere. You'd have big screens (in DUBLIN office) showing US President's approval rates. Which politician said what and so on. Of course, it all goes one way and only one opinion is welcomed. NO POLITICS at work is preferred (at least in the offices outside of the US).

Pros

The company culture at SurveyMonkey is really special. Curiosity and risk-taking is encouraged, and people are free to be their authentic selves at work. If there are faults, it's that we are too nice and collaborate too much that it sometimes slows down decisions. People are genuinely passionate about building, marketing, and servicing a great product & experience for our customers. Upward mobility is real for those who work towards it - SurveyMonkey likes to promote from within, and I've been able to grow my own career from IC into a leadership position here. Benefits are great too. I've had 2 babies while working here and felt fortunate to have the 16 week parental leave and $20k towards fertility/doula services. Flexible hybrid remote/in-office. Favors pacific time zone.

Cons

The PE-owned chapter at the company has been one of consolidation and cost-cutting. It forces focus, but has meant we've had to say goodbye to a lot of talented teammates.
