      Pros

      It used to be work-life balance but that changed at the turn of 2024

      Cons

      Extremely bureaucratic - unusually slow for a ‘tech’ business No true leadership exists, particularly in ads leadership Limited career advancement opportunities - do not waste good years of your career here Compensation is not competitive Internal tools are a disaster No innovation (clinging to ‘magical experiences’ i.e. generative ai item descriptions) No culture Completely under-resourced No talent management or retention strategy in place This is not a company focused on growth. It’s focused on ensuring profitability is stable and a hope to maintain or maybe 1 or 2% YoY revenue growth.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
