Pros

- There's some good people there! - Lots of interesting challenges to solve for product teams. - Compensation is competitive.

Cons

- They've underperformed for the past couple of years, so they need to make some big changes to turn things around. As a result the atmosphere and culture is quite negative and chaotic currently. - 2024 is likely to be a reform year for them, there's a chance that they will come out stronger, but it is likely to a rocky and confusing time at the company so would beware joining this year. - Ultimately the senior leadership is not top tier, and there is a real lack of vision or clear strategy from them. - If you're looking for a *dynamic* tech company would def advise avoiding, they are pretty corporate!

We know that leadership transitions and evolving structures are felt by employees, and stability and clarity remain important focus areas as we continue to mature.

Pros

- the people (i work with on a daily basis). i've heard some not-so-great things and reviews about people in other departments, but i'm lucky to work with great people in my department and know many kind and hard working people here. - unlimited pto - hybrid - nice offices

Cons

there's good reason behind the overall rating of this company and % approval of the ceo are dropping. the company is not what it used to be. during the first ~6 months i thought it was so exciting and a super unique unicorn company, however, right after that you start to notice all of the things wrong with it. the overall culture also took a huge hit within the last year or so. after the last round of lay-offs, SO MANY people then left on their own because of burnout from the unorganized chaos + more money since it's fairly rare to get a significant enough raise here. i envy the people who got out before the ship sank - senior leadership who probably have no idea what we actually do beneath them aka lack of visibility and no clear path for growth - leadership changes and lay-offs left and right - LACK OF DIVERSITY.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the more than three years you’ve spent with us, especially during a time of significant change. We’ve had to make some difficult decisions over the past few years, including including organizational changes as we've merged companies, cultures, and products together into one platform. These were not taken lightly, and we recognize the impact they’ve had on teams, morale, and our employees day-to-day experience. We also hear your point around compensation. We’d encourage you to speak with your manager to better understand how salary reviews and compensation decisions are approached, salary bands, and how this connects to your role and progression. You also raise important points around leadership visibility, growth, and inclusion. We know these matter, and they’re areas we’re actively working on... particularly around making growth paths clearer and strengthening connection between leadership and teams. As a current employee, we’d encourage you to share this feedback directly with your manager (in addition to the compensation piece), connect with your People Business Partner, or take part in our annual engagement survey launching in May/ quarterly pulse surveys so it can help shape ongoing action plans. Your voice really matters in how we move forward.
