Pluspunten

Before VC stranglehold, GFM was a place where values internally matched the company mission to help people. Employees flourished, were treated with directness, and opportunity abounded. It was truly brilliant.

Minpunten

Something so beautiful and purpose-driven descended into an ugly, tarnished shell of itself through corporate greed and VC pressure. Relentlessly parading the strong values it once truly lived, it preys on employees who live those values authentically. People who are attracted to the do good mission are motivated to “change the world”. You do get to do this to a degree, and that keeps you going. GFM puts on a great show of caring about you, about diversity, etc., but in the end, tenured, previously successful employees who gave their all for 5-10 years are mercilessly broken down by new managers trying to get to the top and fired or laid off. No dignity or consideration for your well being after all you’ve given. Disgraceful, fake, soulless, conniving, toxic business. A truly sad trajectory. Now I donate to causes through Venmo or other means.

Pluspunten

- Lots of opportunities to learn and grow - Getting to use my skills towards efforts that help everyday people - Leadership is very receptive to engineering, and ensuring that we have a good work/life balance - Grassroots AI adoption, allowing teams to explore and prove out new workflows based on our pain points. This enables teams to learn the how and why around using these tools, and gives an opportunity to share those learnings with other teams - Empathetic and evidence-based AI adoption, with a healthy dose of skepticism to ensure we're making the right choices - The amount of extremely smart and skilled people spread across teams means that there's always something I can learn from just about any interaction

Minpunten

- The downside of grassroots AI adoption is that some teams leverage the tool differently than others, or different stacks entirely - With the number of initiatives executed in parallel, it can be easy to get lost in the work

Pluspunten

Pay is good and product is for Social Good

Minpunten

There is little hope that our stock options will have value soon. Leadership often prioritized alignment over independent judgment, and despite major hires and restructuring, the company has struggled to deliver products with meaningful impact or market traction. Feedback largely flowed top-down, with dissent poorly received and limited room to challenge decisions. While some leaders projected openness, there was often a noticeable gap between image and reality, with culture seeming more focused on hierarchy and appearances than execution and results.
