Terrible place to work

Pros

You get a pay check

Cons

There is no room for advancement, no one truly knows what is going on and everyone lives in fear of losing their job. Leadership have no experience and can not drive a company let alone manage people. Everything is focused on the US and any other regions offer nothing but toxic workplace behaviours and terrible bullying from senior leaders. One leader wanted to build a place of psychological safety but they are the most toxic leader I have ever had the misfortune of working with, they take information and weaponise it against people. Behaviour that is the very opposite of safe. I feel sorry for anyone being mentored by them! If you are a senior leader you cannot ask questions or challenge decisions if you do they will exit you. The worst thing here is they tend to get rid of the people who are competent and keep the people who are yes men

Pros

i work on the auth0 side, which has a better culture afaik, and engineers are treated well in my experience. - my manager is very kind and chill - everyone on my team is treated like an adult - working alongside and learning from top engineering talent - getting exposed to cutting edge tech and product challenges at scale - weekly allhands and lots of demos so you learn a lot about the company and products. - hack culture (hackathons)

Cons

experience will largely depend on how critical your team's services are and how empathetic your manager and up are. past 2 years have had layoffs
