Pros

Market leader with great growth prospects for the future Unique position - ecommerce retail leader but vertically integrated and makes their own physical products. Great chance to understand both sides of the house Relatively small size but with the stability of a public company - have found it easy to change roles and grow responsibility Executive team is among the best I've worked for - clear vision & strategy for the company, paired with focus on day to day execution

Cons

Two locations - Redwood City and Sunnyvale (soon to be Santa Clara) so depending on your role you can spend some quality time on 101 going back & forth No 401k match Extremely cross-functional and matrixed org structure - can take longer to get things done at times than the should

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
