Pros

Fully remote, cool Xmas gifts, provide laptop.

Cons

G-P call their employees ‘The Dream Team’ but this is just a cliche corporate name to hide their terrible internal culture. When I started everyone was so nice and it really seemed like a dream but like dreams they’re not real. The culture took a dramatic shift after the founder stepped back from her day to day role. After she left the company became far more cold, corporate and disorganized. The team I worked for had a bi-weekly meeting where we would catch up, laugh, discuss ideas and have fun. This stopped after new management was hired, these new managers showed 0 interest in the people doing the actual work and never introduced themselves to the wider team over the coming months. They then made dozens of people (maybe more) redundant at the same time as Twitter & Meta to avoid the bad headlines etc. The G-P management offered no reason for this mass cut back in staff aside from the words ‘realignment’. I would be very wary of working for G-P and its reputation in the market. Why does a company supposedly worth $5 Billion need to cut staff with 0 notice?

While we’re glad you appreciated aspects of G-P’s culture, your comments concern us as they’re not consistent with our values and leadership principles. That said, culture changes are a natural and healthy part of any company’s evolution. However, please know that we are committed to growing with intention and to living our values honestly and transparently. The realignment of our teams you reference, which affected less than 10% of G-P globally, was not a decision made lightly. As often happens in business, our path forward necessitated that we better align our teams with our multi-year plan. We do understand that this change was significant for every person it affected. Regarding our hiring practices, we will continue to invest in and support our people with a dedication to building a culture of inclusivity and diversity. Our hiring practices remain inclusive, but the intent always is to hire the best talent for our roles. We hope you made use of the resources provided you, and we wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Pros

Real Career Growth: This isn’t a place where you’re stuck in one role forever. There is a genuine "promote from within" philosophy. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many current leaders who started in entry-level or mid-level positions. Retention Speaks Volumes: You’ll find a lot of "veterans" here with 4+ years of service, which is rare in tech/remote environments. People stay because they’re treated well. 100% Remote & Global: The flexibility is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart people from all over the world, which keeps perspectives fresh and the talent bar high. Non-Hierarchical Leadership: Unlike other companies with "ivory tower" leadership, the execs here are accessible. There’s a focus on doing great work rather than navigating complex political layers. Psychological Safety to Innovate: The culture is fast-paced but fun. We’re encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and find better ways to do things. If you have a solution that improves a process, leadership actually listens.

Cons

Not for the Passive: Because it’s fast-paced and experimental, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you need a rigid, step-by-step manual for every task, the "experimentation" culture might feel overwhelming at first. Time Zone Tetris: Being global and 100% remote is a huge plus, but it does mean being mindful of meeting times across different continents.

Pros

- Fully remote work - Met some smart and ambitious people.

Cons

The person who hired me was laid off three months later and I took on their responsibilities. That's when I learned that the people who previously held that position were also very quickly laid off. Four months later, they laid me off. Two months after that, they laid off the person who laid me off. And one month after that, they laid of the person who laid that person off. At a certain point, even the least perceptive among us must realize that the problem is not with all the people who get laid off so quickly. It's an org that's rotten to the core.
