Pros

Engaging and inclusive discussions held by senior management for all employees promote and sustain a high level of loyalty, collaboration and innovation. CEO Spencer Rascoff is a very engaging, frank and humble speaker who embodies "Power to the People". Plus, he's really, really smart but does a great job communicating in plain English so that all can understand. Astounding capabilities due to acquisitions in the last year or so have created a lot of internal excitement. Excellent environment, location (in Seattle) and fun periodic events at the office balance out some downside related to our explosive growth.

Cons

Inconsistent and rarely proactive internal communication regarding relevant changes to customer-facing employees; fairly close & noisy work space. Otherwise, it's a GREAT place to be!

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
