Pros

Cafe is good. Free coffee. Brilliant, talented coworkers that will get better jobs after the layoffs.

Cons

CEO is a blithering idiot. All US support is going overseas. Layoffs are imminent. Stressful work environment. Poor planning, poor communication. Training and career advancement are lacking and no focal. Product to market is slow. Vacation was sold off the books so we have "flex time" but no ability to actually take time off because we are so busy with work. Insurance has high deductible, high out of pocket cost too.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
