Pluspunten

* worked on really cool tech * the values lived on the team level are absolutely aligned with my personal values (in it together + focus on arriving on the best idea for impact on users) * some wickedly smart people with deep knowledge * name recognition and community goodwill (until unforced error re runtime fee - bad idea, awful execution) * severance was generous

Minpunten

* base pay was fairly low, so with underperforming stock the total compensation wasn't great (though being part of an amazing team was worth a lot to me) * with going public they also went corporate and the the values are better lived out at the team level than in leadership (though I have hopes for the new CEO Jim Whitehurst - fingers crossed) * little job security with the bonkers amount of layoffs (not just percentage but number of rounds) - they weren't performance based, so if you were on a project that got chopped you were most likely out, unless you could find a different role internally :/ - I survived many cuts until our project got hit.

Pluspunten

-Flexible WFH environment -Decent work life balance and good benefits for the US based employees

Minpunten

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast. -CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand. -Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage. -Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.
