Pros

Genuinely kind, funny, and talented coworkers. Managers have empathy and care about your career and you as a person. A lot of people love the product. Truly flexible PTO (though that may change).

Cons

Chaos of a startup with the bloat and bureaucracy of a large, public organization. Absent leadership at best, without vision or coherence at worst. While I understand we are going through tough times, leadership has handled communicating with employees with a lack of tact that is almost impressive. As a result, a previously vibrant vibe is now off. Everyone is demotivated and going through the motions to try to survive. It’s depressing.

Pros

Unfortunately, not many since the company has shifted priorities, post layoffs. Good work/life balance but depends on your role

Cons

Lack of employee development due to lack of bandwidth for leaders, new shift in performance management allows leaders to let employees go without development paths, there's a push to work harder and move faster creating a toxic work environment.
