Pros

Awesome product, great coworkers, good benefits, good work/life balance

Cons

Most senior management has been flushed and replaced with new "leaders" who rule by fear and intimidation. Company on paper seems to be doing very well but morale on the ground is terrible. Arbitrary firings and treating the employees who built this company as if they are incompetent has many very talented people looking elsewhere.

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
