*Work - Life Balance: -Probably can't be beat at most other workplaces. -Flexible schedules and remote work. *Company Culture: -For the most part, people are nice and pleasant to work with.
*Turbulent Management and High Turnover: -Have had 4 different managers during my time here. -Management prioritizes an unquestioned loyalty to "Yelp" as a company, which results in the neglect of their own teams, as their needs and advocacy are sidelined in favor of preserving the company's interest. *Compensation Issues: -Lack of clarity/transparency in compensation structures and schedules (bordering on misinformation). -A notable incident involving an error made by them when issuing an incorrect compensation letter that was ultimately not honored, leading to a prolonged dispute and eventual pay cut. *Increasing Workload with Decreasing Pay: -Following layoffs and terminations, workloads have increased without corresponding adjustments in pay. *Neglected Career Development: -Set backs / stagnancy in growth because you essentially have to start over each time you get a new manager (which has been about once per year).

I am a L6 Product Manager at FB (was at Yelp). A recruiter reached out for a role at Cruise. It seems like an interesting area to work on. Are they competitive with total compensation of FB? Do they give pre ipo stocks or gm stocks?
So the snap IPO is happening. Buy or not ? Is it another twitter, yelp or another fb ?
Which are the companies in London that pay close or more than £200k in London? My list so far includes: #facebook #google #tiktok Maybe #stripe #yelp #twitter #snap (no openings though) Any other one? Any close to IPO startup perhaps?
