Pros

Good benefits and casual environment

Cons

Got laid off despite being one of the best performers while a lot of employees with mediocre performance got to keep their job during Covid 19. They punish their good performers and reward mediocrity. Layoffs are based on sycophancy and not performance.

Pros

Supportive and talented teammates, strong work-life balance, and a high level of autonomy. You’re trusted to own your work and gain meaningful, hands-on experience.

Cons

Recent leadership changes and widespread layoffs, including most of the UX and research team, significantly impacted morale and culture. Collaboration across global time zones could be challenging, and compensation was not competitive for Bay Area roles. The environment became less welcoming under new management.
