Pros

Remote work, high autonomy, smart teammates

Cons

My take: executive leadership is probably hoping to rush an IPO/acquisition and leave. Regularly doing layoffs, killing off growth products to hyper focus on one thing, failing business relationships (e.g. Expedia, Booking, …). I think the company is in a downward spiral.

Pros

pay, remote, some good/smart people in pockets

Cons

Senior leaders could not care less about employees and routinely make bad market decisions leading to foreseeable product issues and eventual layoff cycles. There was a time a few years back where employees criticized the dark patterns in the app - the president got pissed and said 'the data didn't show it was an issue', then a few months later when we got bad press about those patterns dismissed it as our competitors planting stories - sums up the culture pretty clearly.
