Great perks but a very unstable and unhealthy work environment
Pros
Great perks - compensation, health benefits, opportunities to travel, working with smart people, career growth
Cons
- Poor work life balance as UK and US teams are co-dependent, so you have to work within both BST and PDT time zones; sometimes surpassing 12 hours of work in a day. - Poor management decisions have made the company very unstable and unhealthy work environment leading to lack of motivation. Lots of disruptive change that impacts productivity such as; numerous mega re-orgs within one quarter (I've had 3 major reorgs in H1/23 and 3 managers in one year), 4 rounds of massive layoffs in 6 months, lack of stable company vision - shifting company priorities i.e. the jump from Commerce to Reels to Metaverse to generative AI in such a short period. - Lack of job security and loss of trust for leadership after constant layoffs - Even though there is opportunity to work on the world's largest problems, most employees work on very limited scope that is not really satisfying
