Pros

Company wide summit to Europe. Company is profitable Company is growing. Cool Paris office.

Cons

Acquired companies are forced to move to Paris or Palo Alto. Engineering culture is centrally focused. Engineering talent in Palo Alto is not the best compared to other companies in the valley

Hello, thank you for your feedback - appreciate you taking the time to send this, and sorry that you obviously experienced some areas of frustration. When we acquire companies, we do try as much as possible to have our R&D teams consolidated into our Dev Centers. This is a critical part of the culture of collaboration and information sharing we have built. The teams actively work together on brainstorming and idea-generation, and this is much more easily facilitated when the team is co-located in a single office. Having said this, as you may know from our recent acquistion of HookLogic, we will actually sustain their Dev Center in Ann Arbor, because of the critical mass of employees that we already have their - and the criticality of their talent. With our engineering teams, consolidation is important (and one of our top strengths), however we are practical on what makes the most sense in terms of supporting and promoting the growth of our business. Unfortunately it sounds like this was not for you, and we regret that we weren't able to make this fit in with your own personal priorities. Best, HR

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
