Pros

A lot of great people working really hard. Amazing expansion and yet feels like an small company. Great culture (on paper). Good benefits. Amazing facilities - it does make your job easier. If you're part of the company where people live, work by the company's culture deck, congrats you must be having the time and experience of your live. If any of the cons below sounds a bit familiar, move within or out of the company, seeing those things in 2017 is not worth it.

Cons

Subtle misogyny and sexism exists. It's saddening things like: "Be careful on what you write on interview reviews, European candidates can request transcripts", and those emails are not talking about confidential information but about language, disguised sexist jokes. I've seem post-interviews starting with: let's hire the attractive one to boost moral. Jokingly comments like: Be impartial even though girls are not you thing - directed to a male employee. Upper management acting inappropriately towards other employee, making suggestive (and highly questionable) comments on private subjects. It's not rare to hear comments like "That's how that person is" or " They do a great job, it was just a silly comment", when things like the ones above described come up in conversations. It's conflicting and infuriating to see a lot of people playing along (power/hierarchy situation) makes one wonder: are they trying to survive or is this just how they truly are?

Obviously this review unnerves me greatly, and I'd really like to follow up with you directly around your concerns if you're open to sharing them--happy to connect live or if you'd prefer to follow up anonymously I can work with Eric on 15Five follow up, but needless to say, I'd love to get specific examples and meaningfully fix this. There is no place whatsoever for sexist behavior in our interview and employee experience, so I want to help address this in any and every way possible. Thanks for sharing your concerns, they are important and critical for us to address. Sincerely, Katie

Pros

-- fast-paced environment -- decent office location -- lots of skill building opportunities -- cross-departmental training sessions -- clear performance metrics -- defined career path -- peers tend to be pretty friendly -- accessible alumni network

Cons

-- short term focus (the 'rocket ship' vision is spoken of but not implemented) -- aggressive growth targets -- rampant micro-managing -- inconsistent quality/quantity of mentoring opportunities -- lack of gender diversity on the management team -- lack of transparency -- it's just a toxic place to be on a daily basis -- no vacation policy leads to employees actually taking no vacation
