Pros

Free meals and nice office space.

Cons

Management is extremely novice. I don't understand what skills they bring to the table and what they actually do on a daily basis. People are getting hired left and right due to nepotism. For instance, a candidate that completely failed the interview process was hired because she knows the SVP. I was actually in the meeting. The code stack is laughable. It's funny seeing faces of recent hired engineers when they first see the codebase. Utterly trash. The management and tech lead should be ashamed of themselves.

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
