Pros

A job in a tough economy. There are some good people left.

Cons

Bad morale, layoffs for no reason other than to make up for the millions paid in bonuses to high level management. No training, few weekends off and no comp time or pay for most weekends you do work. Management has no issues walking anyone to door for a layoff, regardless of the situation or how hard that person worked, with little regard for that person's career or family. No pay raises in years, no career advancement, even vendors are told to pack up.

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.
