Pros

- Decent pay ranges - Committed to remote work - Unlimited PTO is taken seriously, plus two mandatory weeks off per year - Direct peers are great people and fantastic to work with

Cons

- Company reputation was thrashed by ads strategy, leadership doesn't care as long as ad dollars are coming in - New CEO has no vision beyond "put AI in everything" - Two large rounds of layoffs, scrambling to figure out how to keep functioning with removal of key employees - Threats and hostility towards remaining ICs - Favoritism is rampant, only certain people are celebrated while the rest are overworked and overlooked - Managers don't serve employees, they just drop demands from leadership on us - Product is way behind competitors as leadership puts us to work on things customers hate instead of things our competitors have done for years - Toxic positivity in all hands meetings is cringy, insulting, lacking transparency
