Pros

Great work from home support

Cons

I was so excited to work here based on their culture deck, but I've yet to see any of the stated values lived out. You are only a number here. My worth as an employee and development opportunities are irrelevant. All that matters is the metrics. My manager has no idea what my goals are, where I'd like to develop...nothing. Nor have they (or anyone else) invested in me as a person. There is almost toxic support given to management. If you are struggling, you are told to figure out a way to make it work or move on from the company. I feel completely disconnected from this company. Many of us feel like outsiders here. If your manager isn't someone who actively cares about your journey, you won't have any opportunities to connect and grow otherwise. The most disheartening part is how cliquey VPs are. It's a cool kids club. If you're in, poor results will be dismissed. I've watched people who mismanaged products and have done a terrible job leading people (almost the whole team quit because of leadership) get promoted and praised because they're "in". I've never heard an encouraging word (or any acknowledgment really) from upper management. It's been a sad, demoralizing experience. I can't wait to get out.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
