Vantaggi

- Depends on the team and part of the product.

Svantaggi

- You only get promoted if you appear to or actually work long hours. - Vocal people who may not even be good at their job get promoted because they are louder. - The OKRs of the design team got in the way of doing actual work as they took valuable time and most times were not useful/used properly (were mostly metrics to push product to prioritise UX). - Reactive instead of proactive research. - Difficult to influence other parts of the product as everyone is busy and has a long backlog. - Async communication sounds nice but most times is difficult and slow (which means late hours if the team is in reverse time zones). - Diversity and inclusion just a pretence not applied to key roles. - If someone is burned out they will kick them out without second thoughts.

Vantaggi

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Svantaggi

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
