Pros

For the previous 5 years I'd always had a raise, mid year raise and more than 100% bonus. Yet the last year's was docked due to "poor performance" but then can't give specifics on the apparent poor performance.

Cons

Any length of time there, you will get pulled in to be put on a PIP for no valid reason. This has happened plenty of times with high performers throughout the company because they have been there for a length of time. Absolutely no work life balance because the fast pace of the business requires extra hours to get stuff done. Every role needs at least 2 people to do it properly. No appropriate coaching, guidance Everything last minute and chaos. Stressful.

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.
