Pros

Design team was great. Role had flexibility, ownership, great devs, and good outlooks. Design leadership is great.

Cons

The C-Suite is a mess. Forcing folks back into the office, not listening to their employees, constant layoffs (I was a part of one), removing employee benefits like 401K matching. The CEO is a loose cannon who constantly complains about employees lack of enthusiasm at town halls and goes on unnecessary and problematic rants. Leadership only cares about the bottom line and their investors.
