Pros

Coworkers are extremely talented and smart individuals and good people to work with.

Cons

There is little to no room for advancement within the company, unless you like to take on more responsibility without any significant pay increase. It is very political and promotions seem to be granted based on how well an employee plays politics rather than according to ability. It is extremely difficult to get a raise above 3%. Upper management seems extremely out of touch with what actually motivates employees. The company is highly bureaucratic. Communication from management and between departments could be better.

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.
