Poor Values Masquerading as a "Do Good" Company with Great Benefits
Feb 19, 2022 - Office Experience AssociateRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Some truly amazing people, a generally fun work environment, a good mission at its core, some good benefits such as Summer Fridays and health insurance
Cons
Toxic "family" atmosphere with an emphasis on "feedback" that perpetuates unequal power dynamics beyond a cheerful facade that pretends to value employees, extremely spotty JEDI history, excessive micromanagement despite claims to the contrary and obsession on "mistakes", a goal-setting structure that requires employees to perform far beyond their salary bands and job descriptions + forces ownership of projects even when that possibility was not available at the time of conception or execution, lower than standard salary bands and substandard raise structure, constant stress and tension + being forced to constantly validate existence, laid off over half of the staff "due to COVID" and did not offer any positions back to original employees (but waited the exact legal minimum and relisted them instead), outdated org with reduced clout on the global scale, very little room for advancement

Management and culture is holding back its full potential
Oct 4, 2021 - Senior Software Engineer in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Individual contributors and mid management are what keeps the mission afloat.
Cons
Higher management, incoherent excuses, lack of integrity is what is sinking the ship. The culture is fragmented between the cool tech culture vs the legacy outdated big enterprise culture.
