Pros

Good peers to work with and remote work is always fantastic for flexibility. The core products should be industry leaders (but aren't).

Cons

The industry keeps growing but the company shrinks and does layoffs 1-2x every year (I've been here 6 years). The executives set goals and never meet them but for some reason, the leadership never gets fired. There are no opportunities for growth within the company, leading to top performers leaving for other organizations. The cost of healthcare is higher than other companies in the space I've recently spoken to.

Hi there—It’s great to hear that you appreciate working with the GoGetters across our global workforce, as well as the autonomy that our remote work culture provides. We know organizational changes can be tough, and our decisions are always guided by larger company goals. We do our best to communicate these changes transparently, as our aim is for every GoGetter—and GoTo as a whole—to grow and move forward together. If you have ideas or questions about how we can improve, please feel free to share them with your manager, HR Business Partner, or even at one of our Ask Me Anything sessions with ELT members. Your feedback truly matters and helps us shape a better experience for everyone. Thanks again for your six years of dedication and for sharing your perspective.
