- Nepotism is the name of the game. If you are in engineering, you better be Australian or be in Australia for career progression. If you are in Product or Marketing, be in Park City, Utah else there is no future for you. - Diversity is all talk. Top 3-4 layers are pure white with a sprinkling of Asians for good measure. - Constantly reorging - If you end up in Cash App’s health team, good luck to you
Good to have on your resume for next future jobs
No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
