Means well, but short-sighted

Implementation manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong benefits, trans care, RSUs, inspiring CEO. Nice offices, free lunch. Less evil than comparable corporations.

Cons

Frequent layoffs/restructuring, does not try to place layoffs in internal positions. Would save money and preserve talent and deep product knowledge, but they do the lazy thing. Pay is below average.
