Pros

Innovative products Solid Brand Product Discounts Nice Office

Cons

Where to even start. Team onboarding was non-existent. I was barely even talked to by my team/manager, no real explanation of what my role/responsibilities were. I'd get a one word here, one sentence there, so basically I had no work for 6 months. And if something was not to the liking of the manager then he'd he flip out, anger, insults, etc. It was totally weird and bizarre, negative EQ. After a more significant period of time there was still barely any definition to my role, there was still practically no interaction between the direct team or the broader function. The office was silent and lifeless, no energy, no interaction, no sharing of ideas. Between the meaningless to non-existent role/responsibilities, the team with zero interaction, the quick temper manager, non-existent development plan, I couldnt continue with this place. They talk a big game about outrageously extraordinary work and development yada yada, then when you're there you barely have a coherent role while your manager chases today's shiny object and gives you one words answers on whats actually expected.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
