Pros

The pantry is well-stocked, the benefits are decent, and at the very least, they don't cut corners on end-user devices.

Cons

Here’s an eloquent rephrasing of those three points into a short paragraph: Tech management drifts without a clear vision, while the infrastructure buckles under any demand for growth. To make matters worse, a toxic culture of blame permeates everything—where accountability is twisted into a weapon rather than a tool for progress.

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
