Pros

The non-managers on the team were great, smart people to work with

Cons

My team fired a quarter of the people who were there when I started because nobody on the team is capable of actual management. They say they are hiring constantly because they’re growing so fast, but most of their hiring is just making up for all the people they fired. In each case, they said they had been very clear with the people they fired and giving them a chance to improve - not true at all in my experience. I asked my manager almost every week for feedback and got mainly positive feedback only to be fired. They also fire everyone at exactly 10 months before any of their equity has vested and only give one month severance.

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.
