Pluspunten

A few fun benefits, flexible PTO

Minpunten

Management: Leadership frequently touts "inclusion and transparency," but the reality is a culture of favoritism and "crony" hiring. Promotions are based on social circles rather than merit or performance. Work Environment: The Product Design org is particularly dysfunctional. It is driven by ego rather than user-centric goals. Expect a lack of clear direction, frequent gaslighting, and a culture where credit for your work is often taken by those in higher positions. Compensation & Growth: Pay is significantly below market average with no clear path for advancement. High output is expected, but rewards and recognition are non-existent. Key Issues: There is a glaring lack of upward feedback loops for managers. One specific lead has a documented history of misconduct and poor performance (including skipping meetings and offloading work onto subordinates) but remains "protected" and even promoted by upper management. Verdict: This environment is detrimental to mental health. If you value professional growth and a supportive culture, look elsewhere.

Pluspunten

This department is great. Everyone I work with is knowledgeable and self-sufficient. We are trusted to get our work done and there is a lot of flexibility. Pay is decent. I have had some bad jobs in accounting/finance and this is probably my favorite job I have had.

Minpunten

Other departments seem to have their own issues. We are siloed from those issues so I can't speak to them.

None, a bunch of frat bros who put you down any chance they get.

Minpunten

I worked here for over two years, and it was a frustrating and, at times, uncomfortable professional experience. I often felt that my contributions were overlooked, and it was difficult to feel fully respected or included in conversations and decision-making. The workplace culture was one of the biggest challenges. I regularly observed gossip and unprofessional communication, and advancement did not appear to follow a clear, performance-based structure. From what I experienced, promotions seemed more closely tied to internal relationships than to measurable results, which made growth feel uncertain and inconsistent. There were also moments that I found inappropriate in a professional setting. I personally overheard a manager make a comment about wanting someone on a team based on appearance, which raised concerns for me about workplace standards. In addition, repeated day-to-day interactions sometimes felt dismissive or discouraging, and over time that created a work environment that was difficult to feel comfortable in. Leadership often felt disconnected from the day-to-day employee experience, and expectations around performance and quotas were, in my experience, difficult to meet in a sustainable way. This added pressure without a clear sense of support or alignment. This reflects my personal experience, but I would strongly encourage anyone considering a role here to ask detailed questions about team culture, communication style, and growth opportunities to determine if it aligns with what they’re looking for.
