Pros

location office benefits there are some nice people... but those exposed to 2 particularly toxic departments are running out the door. onsite cafe is subsidised onsite gym easy commute access training program and school - but what they speak of is not practiced

Cons

Leadership Management Vision Culture textbook speeches that carry no weight. weak responses to questions. some CXOs treat people poorly and make sweeping statements that get swept under the rug with shallow coverups inconsistent leadership with cxos running in silos. if you land under the worst one, you can expect a terrible time if youre not a yes man multiple initiatives to manage people. no one managing weak leadership tech regression more so than tech driven

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.
