Pros

There are a lot of modern technologies being used here, and lots of people that are very knowledgeable to learn from. There's minimal overhead in the develop-test-release cycle. Career growth is something that's actively discussed between managers and team members. Company culture is something that's at the forefront of people's minds; people want to make this a great place to work.

Cons

Due to the autonomy given to teams, things can sometimes seem disorganized, or the same problem may be solved two different ways by two different teams.

This is a super thoughtful review, thanks for sharing it--I love that you said people want to make this a great place to work because it's hard to explain to folks just how many leaders here are focused on making it great, and how much all of our employees care about getting it right, so I'm glad to hear you feel that. I agree with you that autonomy can sometimes lead to some overlap and frustration--it's a really hard problem to tackle, so I welcome ideas on how we can do it better as we scale if you want to chat in person. Either way, thank you for helping build a product and a company we can all be proud of--we are lucky to have you as part of our team. -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.
