Pros

*My initial team was warm and welcoming. *I met some amazing people along the way that I plan to stay in touch with. *Cool product and modern technology. *Good pay and benefits.

Cons

*My entire team disappeared in under a year and wasn’t given a good reason as to why. *You will be disposed of the moment you’re no longer a vital component to the company. *Lack of transparency. *Little to no feedback on your performance. I was let go suddenly and wasn’t able to get any feedback as to why other than “we don’t want to pay you so much.” I wasn’t given any indication that my performance was poor so I was very confused and shocked. I was even given a small raise a month or so prior. I’ve never felt so disposable in my life and was very disappointed in how I was treated during my sudden separation call.

Good people, but ineffective leadership

Pros

Good people: Most people seem to really care about each other. Some teams more than others Collaborative: Great team work, cross-departmental and within each department Forward-thinking: Always looking to improve, although this sometimes can lead to rash decision making and too many ineffective/forgotten changes

Cons

Irresponsible use of funds: They spend money on really fancy vacations for top management, but continue to lay off employees and eliminate benefits for all of the rest of the employees. Demotivating, but they don’t seem to care. Management: Senior-level management is the “in-crowd” — if you’re in you’re in, but if you’re out you’re out. They claim to be transparent, but really aren’t. Constant promises that are never fulfilled. Work feels unstable: It feels like people are let go regularly here, with no warning. Positions and company needs are constantly changing, and they make employment decisions very lightly. They don’t seem to consider much before firing someone. I go to work each Monday wondering who will be fired that week. Pay: Pay is okay, but not great. Could definitely find better elsewhere.

Over promised and did Not deliver.

Pros

The culture is great, until it’s not. They care, until they don’t. You are valued, until you aren’t.

Cons

They recruit for a position, make you go through an exhaustive interview process only to decide months later they can’t support the position anymore and you are gone. What they think is transparency is in reality blatant dishonesty. Leaders either don’t understand or just don’t care about their responsibility for people’s livelihoods. Maybe it’s the growing pains of immaturity or inexperience but these actions don’t align with the culture and values that they go on and on and on about.
