Toxic work environment. Don't waste your good years working here.

Business Outlook

Pros

- ICs are quite talented and helpful. Opportunity to work with smart, fun people. - Still seen as a good company to work for externally.

Cons

- Culture is the worst I've seen from over a decade in this industry. - No work / life balance due to high growth expectations combined with leadership thrashing projects much more than you see at other companies. - Leadership acknowledges burnout...but that's it. Acknowledge and move on is what they provide. - Common practice to be brutally honest without regard for people's hard work. It's seen as some badge of honor. Mostly across OGs in the company.

Pros

Folks here are very passionate about the work they do. It's rare people here are coasting or just riding out the time. Demanding and satisfying work.

Cons

Things change all the time. People tend to work on what they feel most strongly about which can be good for the Discord feel and bad for bugs.
