Vantaggi

Initial impressions are very impressive. It's hard to get hired here and the first visit can give the 'wow' experience. -Office environment is beautiful (contemporary office space, Aeron chairs, Varidesks on demand, Herman Miller furniture, etc.) Tons of really good, free food. -Lots off employee events like happy hours, family days, picnics, etc.) -High growth mode. Relatively easy to get a new hire req approved. Very optimistic about the future (without explanation.) -good level of transparency about most things (salary and comp bands are not one of them) -Product and Engineering divisions run the show -Opportunities to move around the company -Salary trends on the low side. -Benefits are very good with low cost to employees.

Svantaggi

-Feedback system gone fubar. Online system allows people to send private email to managers about their people. Creates two-face, passive aggressive environment -Different departments have unique cultures and hierarchy (meaning some positions a different grade then equivalent positions in other departments.) -Avoid program management and BA roles which are like department admins -Some VPs are very tuned in (COO, CEO, Product, Eng), others are not (Marketing) -Very millennial oriented. Abundance of perks creates entitled environment. Lack of urgency to get things done. Passivity abounds. -Most departments use a quarterly eval process. The continuous feedback system can be helpful but is time consuming and makes people feel like they are walking on egg shells.

Vantaggi

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Svantaggi

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
