Pros

Was a fun place to work - very cool products & solid management team. The enthusiasm and passion to excel as a company was shared by managers up and executives.

Cons

As long as you did your job and played the game (politically) you were safe. Dissatisfied employees were rarely given the chance to communicate and effect positive change. Many employees simply left and were replaced with more junior people so those who stayed had to pick up the slack.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
