Vantaggi
- Used to be a fun place to work. The only fun part now is being surrounded by a few smart people. - Was fully remote but recently mandated RTO 2 days per week to subpar SF office in inconvenient SOMA location.
Svantaggi
- Nothing innovative about any of their products, consumers are increasingly bored and uninterested. Reliance on nostalgia seems to be the company's only strategy - Never-ending 3+ year re-org shifted all power and decision-making to France - Working Paris hours, regular 6 am and 7 am meetings - Hiring freeze for almost 3 years and counting - No raises for 2+ years for most people - Regular layoffs in the SF office - Minimal female leadership and very few (if any) influential female decision-makers - Limited upward mobility unless you are French and/or a White man - Mandated RTO and have to reserve a desk each time as they removed permanent desks - Major lip service and zero commitment from execs in regard to making any actual systemic changes (e.g., sexual harassment, increasing BIPOC and/or female leadership) - Unrealistic deadlines and top down executional demands - Sketchy, unwritten stock allocations ("some people get it, some people don't")
