Vantaggi

Never overtime, rarely on-call. Management legit does not want you tired or sick at work. In over 2 years working there, I had to open my laptop after hours maybe twice, for 30 minutes tops. Truly inclusive workplace! They state that in their mission and they actually mean it. They have "christmas break" in summer too which does not count towards your paid time off. I think all companies should do that. Remote + Hybrid + On-site work done right. As a fully remote employee, never ever I felt excluded by not being in the office or collaborating with my on-site colleagues.

Svantaggi

Meeting culture is super-bad. You will be in meetings for 3-5 hours a day, with weird spacing of 15-30 minutes between, while expected to do full work load. Hiring practices are bad here. They don't advertise the pay range and base your pay on your location and previous pay rate - the lowest of the two. Pay is not fantastic. Salary increases are 1% over national inflation which is laughable. And they straight up not hire from states where pay range listing is mandatory. Shame! Forget new tech - it takes 2-3 YEARS to adopt new technology here. The amount of paperwork that YOU need to fill out to just propose new tech solution is insane. Some Engineering Managers have no clue about any software development. They don't actively get in your way like in a Dilbert comic, but you have to explain very basic stuff to some of them all the time. During meetings. Endless, soul-crushing, absolutely meaningless meetings.

Vantaggi

The company culture at SurveyMonkey is really special. Curiosity and risk-taking is encouraged, and people are free to be their authentic selves at work. If there are faults, it's that we are too nice and collaborate too much that it sometimes slows down decisions. People are genuinely passionate about building, marketing, and servicing a great product & experience for our customers. Upward mobility is real for those who work towards it - SurveyMonkey likes to promote from within, and I've been able to grow my own career from IC into a leadership position here. Benefits are great too. I've had 2 babies while working here and felt fortunate to have the 16 week parental leave and $20k towards fertility/doula services. Flexible hybrid remote/in-office. Favors pacific time zone.

Svantaggi

The PE-owned chapter at the company has been one of consolidation and cost-cutting. It forces focus, but has meant we've had to say goodbye to a lot of talented teammates.
