Pros

Cant find any pros recently.

Cons

There are too many managers who lack a basic understanding of how the business operates. Decision-making is unclear and often ineffective. Management provides little to no support—questions are frequently met with pushback rather than guidance. At times, accusations are made without proper validation or investigation, creating a culture of blame rather than accountability. Town halls are consistently focused on terminations, restructuring, and adding more tasks instead of improving or automating processes. Employees are terminated abruptly, often without notice, with their responsibilities immediately reassigned to remaining staff. There are serious concerns around NDAs that appear to conflict with European labor laws. The work environment is highly toxic and makes burnout very easy. Acquired companies, in particular, seem to be pushed toward rapid burnout as part of workforce cost optimization strategies. Overall, this is not a sustainable or healthy environment for employees.

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
