Pros

If you're on a good team it can be pretty relaxed. Most people here are friendly and well-intentioned

Cons

Leadership has completely lost it. There is no meaningful strategy and they're operating in total panic mode We're now all on sale. They decided overnight that there is no more stock compensation. Meanwhile the stock is down 75% in the past year. Morale is terrible as many people are taking ~30% pay cut from this. Salary bands have just been adjusted down ~10% across the board and are now targeting the median industry comp but you're expected to accomplish top results still. Many people will probably leave now as this was just a cheap way to do layoffs. The difference in comp adjustments between meeting expectations and being a top performer was barely noticeable as well (~2% difference in most cases).

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
