      Pros

      Looked good on resume to work for a global company. Good work life balance as in no one worked late or went in early ! New ceo brings hope.

      Cons

      It's not what you do, it's who you know that moves you up. Very siloed, eliminating benefit in working for a global company. Not open to new ideas, preferred status quo to stay safe.

            Good work/life balance (hours are reasonable) Amazing network/tech/security foundation and infrastructure Very smart Very stable product

            Cons

            Seems easy to get stuck being the sole owner of projects until someone leaves Needed a culture club to try and breath some life into the office environment C level execs were mostly absent. CEO made an appearance once every couple months. CTO seems to be on permanent vacation (seriously).

                      Great people, motivated teams and cool brand to work for.

                      Cons

                      Inconsistent flexible working policies. Do not value work life balance for working mothers (ie only certain people allowed to work a day from home and not others).

                      Marketing Manager

                      Based on your experience, what preceded the job offer email: have you received that relatively fast, or you’ve been waiting in silence? For how long?

                      Underwriter

                      Had an interview today and at the end recruiter asked if I was interviewing with another company I was honest and said yes I currently have an offer already with another company. Should I have said that? Worried it may hurt my chances with the interview process going forward.

                      Many people are getting ghosted during the interview process these days so I started https://ghosts.fyi to track companies that regularly ghost. Let me know if you could see this being helpful during your job search!
