Pros

Nice, smart coworkers. Good work/life balance. Good benefits like daily lunch, free health insurance.

Cons

Employees across the WHOLE company are unhappy, not just DEs. Enormous pay inequality which defeats the purpose of joining a 'startup' early. Employees who have been here longer are undervalued and underpaid compared to new hires in the last year. Way to appreciate our hard work. Executives are obsessed with how they look in front of other execs and don't listen. No transparency in decision making. Needless to say there is low morale everywhere. They sell you hard and don't deliver. What you are told during your interview process is NOT what you get.

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
