Vantaggi
The people here are genuinely great. Sharp, capable, and when they're left alone to do their jobs, they deliver. Remote culture has always been handled well, and the autonomy that comes with it has meant a lot. When this place works, it really works.
Svantaggi
This place used to have something you couldn't really find anywhere else. Remote before anyone called it remote work. People who'd been here forever because they actually wanted to stay. The kind of place you landed when you were done with corporate nonsense — and nobody made you feel like you had to prove it every day. It felt like a startup but with people who actually had your back. That's mostly gone now. And the frustrating part? The company doing well financially. This isn't a business in crisis making tough calls. It's a business that's doing well and making strange ones. In the last year alone, three executives have left — one fired, one who retired at a very convenient time, and a CEO on sabbatical that few people expect to end with an actual return. The founders came back as co-CEOs after about fifteen years mostly out of the picture. They show up to certain meetings, check in, and disappear. There's no real sense that they understand the day-to-day, or frankly, the people doing it. The internal teams aren't the problem — they know what they're doing. But ownership doesn't seem to have a clear picture of what success actually looks like for a company at this stage, so the goalposts keep moving. One moment it's fashion brand energy, then it's full Silicon Valley mode. Outside consultants and validators keep getting brought in while people with five, ten, and fifteen years here get walked out the door — usually handed some line about "strategic initiatives" that have yet to actually show up. Someone newer was promoted to COO — the same person who, when they were brought in to run the data function, fired the whole data team and replaced them with offshore contractors. That way of thinking has only grown in influence since. And the AI push everyone's supposed to rally around has no meaningful success metric. Near as anyone can tell, the measure of progress is just how many tokens are getting burned. People don't trust this place the way they used to. That's not a small thing to lose. The only reason this isn't a one star review is because the people are still genuinely good.
