Pros

- Good work life balance in some teams - Great people in some teams

Cons

- Company has no future vision / plan. It's running around like a headless chicken. - Cross-team coordination is a painful process. If you are dependent on another team for your work, good luck getting unblocked. - Politics everywhere. Everything is a facade just for show. - Lower comp than competitors doesn't retain great talent. - Boring financial product - Painful and unclear review / promotion process

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
