Pros

Food is good but it's like 50% of what it was before People (not the managers) are still great to work with

Cons

Leadership uncertainty Stock price is insanely low and drops with every earnings call even with "good" results Benefits being cut left and right High attrition in engineering = lots of historical context being lost and projects being dropped Managers care more about their own visibility than their ICs Managers are very micromanaging. If you get even 1 hour less of work done than expected, you can expect to hear about it No headcount in US for internal mobility, hiring is very aggressive in Vancouver and Warsaw though for cost cutting. So good luck changing teams if you want to stay in NA Entire teams were laid off in the US and rehired in Warsaw and leadership bragged about this being a good decision on the same day the layoffs occurred

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
