      Pros

      Great people. Great office space.

      Cons

      Leaders that give no direction. The product is losing steam in the marketplace. Embarrassing product launches. No company direction or guidance. On the verge of layoffs.

      Horrible Company That Has No EQ at all

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Everyone is very nice, almost to a fault in daily meetings. Capable setup of tech stack Really amazing teams outside our main centers in Lehi and SF (real heroes like Find a Grave, etc.)

      Cons

      Horribly political. Not only do the execs dodge the hardest questions in our all hands, but a lot of strong talent is quitting and leaving. The worst is that everyone is constantly bickering. You can get a bad eval based on someone's opinion of you. Teams are like little fiefdoms of influence. Its exhausting being subjected to this.
