Pros

Pay, RSUs, bonus. Great team and colleagues to work with and engaging/progressive attitude.

Cons

Upper management constantly changes their mind with agile mindset. No engagement from leadership direction. Product has little direction and no care to customers. Metrics on all work aspects and constant fear of underperformance. Little growth or guidance on personal and professional skills. All performance determined by metrics and numbers. Half yearly performance reviews. All values and culture are just for show and none are lived through their employees. Upper management constantly lies to staff, constantly told there will be no layoffs and layoffs happened within weeks of being told that multiple times from multiple managers and C suite.
