Pros

People you work with, many of them are smart, helpful, good people. Depending on a team you can learn a lot.

Cons

Became too corporate. Management is terrible, they don't have any long term plans or clear direction. Plans are being changed constantly, priorities are unclear. Constant layoffs and uncertanity. Low salaries, and impossible promotions. No salary raises or promotion even in cases where your performance is beyond the current level. If you stay long enough you will end up getting paid 50% or more below the market. AI is being pushed too much and given too much value. AI narrative is pushed too much by the management, even when it costs us productivity and solving critical tasks.

Pros

Individual team culture is good depending on leader. Unlimited PTO, good benefits.

Cons

Leadership is unclear in direction. Giving arbitrary guidance on AI usage or RTO without context. Innovation is dead, growth by acquisition is their playbook. This means almost annual RIFs and teams being overworked.
