Pros

Pretty good compensation, YOUdays, and remote

Cons

It is hard to understand why people are Indeed-lifers for a newcomer. In my 7+ years as a PM I have been most unhappy here. People were fine, though culture is not much to write home about. This is a massive company operating soooo slowly. It takes months to get anything done. Folks seem to think scheduling, showing up to meetings and commenting on documents is work. Planning processes are non-existent, deadlines are CRITICAL and then they just move. I saw planning done for a 150+ person group with no plan, no meeting to kick it off, no working backward dates, no tasks really assigned, just 55 people in one document and frantic slacks in 4-5 different channels and then demands about why things weren't done. There is both a sense of urgency and no urgency at the same time. Everyone wants data-driven decisions, in-fact its a core company principal, yet data is constantly a mess and "unreliable". I hoped there was a ton of room to improve a fairly bare bones product. However, I now see that there is no innovative product-mindedness or UX-mindedness. All anyone cares about is if there was a Connection, regardless the shoddy experience. Also the review process is a massive time suck. It seems to be changing soon, but really just seems like a way to occupy people for 2-3 weeks since there is nothing else to actually get done. I want to coast like everyone else, but my time might be better spent exiting.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
