• Decent benefits
• Some good individual contributors and colleagues.
Cons
• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week
• Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines
• Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being
• Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance
• Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company
• Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
