Pros

Great company to work for. Perks aside, you get to work with some extremely smart people who are encouraged by the organization to set and go after SMART - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely - goals. Management takes great effort in being transparent with employees. Fun Fact - This is probably the only company that has a culture code deck that runs in excess of 150 pages. You have to check it out.

Cons

If you are the kind of person that enjoys cruising in a job, this is not the place to be. Be prepared to be challenged and work long hours. Yes! you will fail from time to time, but you will be expected to rise up and crush it the next time.

Thank you for the great review! I love your fun fact--I agree, we are likely the only company with a deck that long, and thanks to Dharmesh it's highly readable and relevant, which is pretty incredible when you think about it. More importantly, what you said about cruising is important--we need people with urgency, and we're so grateful for folks like you helping us scale and grow. Appreciate you writing this up and your help to get us to the next play and beyond! Sincerely, Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
