Pros

There were lots of talented product managers, engineers, content strategists, ux researchers, and designers to learn from. You'll definitely learn a lot of lessons quickly which will give you a lot of growth here. It's a good opportunity to work with a global business and gain fruitful experiences working across many teams around the world.

Cons

Lots of reorgs, regular attrition, culture was good but going downhill. It is hard to maintain a culture when many of the people in it are leaving to keep it around. Leadership will say to take care of yourselves but have a high demand to stay on track for multiple initiatives. It can be hard to feel OK taking the time off that you need for a mental break. Also, there is clear favoritism at the company. In the summer of 2020, design leadership announced that no one will be receiving promotions for mid-year. A couple of months later, they announced that a couple of people did get a promotion. There's more I could say but I will leave it at this.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
