Pros

Decent pay, especially if in the Bay Area or NYC or Seattle. Great benefits package, remote first culture

Cons

C-staff is utterly incompetent. Not a single strategic decision has panned out, and regular employees suffer the consequences of poor leadership. CEO and CFO in particular have an obsession with things like pedigree (ie: where people went to school, FAANG company history, etc) that overshadows a person's actual competency for the job, and are raging narcissists. Anyone who disagrees or doesn't fall into line will find themselves being pushed out. All the leaders are out for themselves - if an idea works out, they take all the credit. If it fails, blame will be spread to others, who will fall on someone else's sword. Culture is a joke - probably one of the most toxic and political environments I've seen. Be prepared for leaders to lead the gaslighting charge with zero remorse or consequences. The mission is also a sham - the only fair chance employees are generally hired into the lowest paying roles and then are paraded around like show ponies as 'proof' the company lives up to its values. In general, diversity and inclusion is mostly non-existent, especially at senior leadership levels. The company tends to lean towards hiring externally vs promoting from within, and generally only hires referrals from other execs (see: nepotism), which doesn't lead to a more diverse leadership team.

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
