Pros

- Compensation is high - Engineers are great, both technically and as people - Some of the engineering work is interesting

Cons

Leadership (C-Suite specifically) is poor. They will lie and break promises for short term gains while touting they are "taking the long view". Focus seems to be whatever Dave wants as opposed to what the company actually needs. Remote work is no longer an option. Previous employees who were pre-approved to work remotely were forced to come back to HQ or take severance.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
