Pros

- A company that actually practices the good values it promotes. - Puts great emphasis on the welfare of its employees. - Great work life balance. - Awesome benefits, above the median.

Cons

- Not sure if this is really a con, but you have to make an effort in making connections with the global team members. That means you have to set some small amount of time to just chat with your other team mates from other regions.

Thank you for your review. It is our goal to create an environment where our team members feel valued and we’re delighted to hear that this is the experience you’ve had working here. We appreciate the challenges of informal communication in an all-remote environment and have thoughtfully developed a few suggestions in our Handbook that may help resolve some of these!

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
