Pros

Good pay, solid healthcare through Aetna, and friendly coworkers

Cons

Not many, though when I was there the higher-ups made a big push for AI. For a business like Bitly which specializes in short links and QR codes, AI is next to useless for the customer. Chasing trends only kept us from working on actual product improvements.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the time you spent at Bitly. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with your coworkers, compensation, and benefits. We also appreciate your candid feedback regarding our AI initiatives. It's fair to question where new technologies fit and whether they're solving real problems. For us, AI has never been about chasing trends for the sake of it. Our focus is, and always has been, helping customers work more efficiently, make better decisions, and get more value from our products. As customer expectations evolve, we continually evaluate new ways to simplify workflows and remove friction, while staying grounded in the core products and experiences that matter most. Not everyone will agree with every product investment, but thoughtful feedback like yours helps shape those conversations. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you all the best in your next chapter. – The Bitly People Team

Pros

Good teammates and a positive environment. Fully remote.

Cons

The onboarding process could be improved. Communication from senior management is unclear, and the messaging feels overly corporate without conveying meaningful information.
