- The people: every person I have worked with shows respect, passion, and care for Bitly and for others. - The product: the product team and growth team are constantly experimenting and launching new features, edits, etc. which shows the passion! - The culture: as mentioned above, the culture focuses on respect, growth, and recently accelerating the initiatives in DE&I. There is an strong work/life balance, and mental health benefits with unlimited PTO. The management is respectful of your time, and skills and will help you succeed in your career. - The leadership: the leadership team is transparent, and respectful, and you can tell that each person on the team has a positive outlook for Bitly and the people.

Toxic and Top Heavy Leadership

Cons
Back to back meetings with no time to get work done. Very slow to make decisions. They keep hiring more and more senior executives from large companies without staffing for key junior and mid level roles. Feels like the culture moved from one of accountability and getting things done towards one of just pushing the tactical work to overworked junior people so they can get the spotlight. Back office employees are treated like second class citizens and GTM and Tech are held to a much lower standard and get all the glory. I have never seen a company with so much turnover in HR over the past couple of years and is very concerning. Toxic white male leadership at the top that rule by favoritism vs facts and exclusion vs inclusion no matter what they say they’re doing for diversity. Very fake culture - you have to act like everything is great and that you drank the kool aid or they label you as problematic. They’re not looking to actually improve anything with their culture other than surface things that get them great place to work awards for bragging rights instead of addressing causes for turnover.
