Pros

Good benefits and insurance Hybrid working Strong product, competitors dont come near Todd is a great founder and ceo

Cons

The lack of transparency from management is causing alot of speculation that drives fear and paranoia. There are plans for further reorg but asia management is not forward with communication thus causing panic in teams on job security, driving individuals to play games rather than work on driving outcomes. The constant reorg and restructuring results in inconsistent testing of strategies of markets which then leads to failures Lack of accountability across teams resulting in finger pointing and extremely low collaboration in cross functional teams

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
