Pros

People are kind. Job is fulfilling. Tech used is top notch.

Cons

Management is a joke. Layoff over layoff, they abandon the products. They fire the only people knowledgeable about the products and hope others will somehow succeed. Very poor decision making.

Pros

Great people and culture. Solid benefits, Health insurance paid 100%.

Cons

Comp is ok. Promotions are almost impossible to get. Constant layoffs, maybe 5-7 times in the past 12 months? Engineering leadership is constantly switching priorities and lacks vision, transparency, and ownership. Long-standing traditions are now being canceled, likely to save money. Poor AI posture in engineering. Engineers are encouraged to spend ridiculous amounts on AI tokens, then the company does layoffs because it spent too much on AI.
