Pluspunten

- Good work-life balance - "Unlimited" PTO is nice in theory (but really just an accounting gimmick to avoid payouts of accrued vacation time on employee exits) - Management seems to genuinely care about the well-being of individual contributors - CEO genuinely seems to genuinely care about the well-being of employees

Minpunten

- Very challenging collaborative environment - Most work is OKR-based and yet alignment justification is very weak (top-down objectives seem poorly interpreted through the common "telephone game" signal degradation) - Very limited opportunities for grassroots contributions - Failure to embrace systems automation

Pluspunten

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Minpunten

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pluspunten

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Minpunten

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
