      Pros

      - The pay and benefits are competitive - The CEO is level-headed and a true thought leader. Would give him 5 starts except that his leadership team is not high performing and inconsistent. - The unique approach to enable people to be a "manager of one" is effective (e.g., very good at documenting process and responsibilities)

      Cons

      - Currently, there seems to be a leadership void that is resulting in a deterioration of the company values. In at least one particular department, an interim leader leverages a fear based leadership style. - Team members are sensing chaos coming from the executive team. - There is an over emphasis on short term results over long term planning and team member experience.

      Pros

      Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

      Pros

      OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

      Cons

      Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
