Pros

- industry standard pay i guess

Cons

- throwing company wide events then lays people off 2 months later. - Usually I would like to say lay offs are understandable business decision. Happened to me before. Getting a new job is not hard as a software engineer. With that said, seeing how they spend their money on luxury and laying off 1/3 of the company? I would never recommend this place as a professional work place. If you are looking for a 1-2 year stay. This is the place. - 10x performance, 0 work life balance. - Up talks how company is doing, down talks bad profit margins.

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.
