Pros

- some good people are still left - lots of people who want to move quickly - free food (with very limited hours for breakfast and dinner) - meal card program... oh wait, that got killed for Venice/Santa Monica employees... - fun summer and new years party's - engineering pay competitive with market

Cons

- the amount of backstabbing here is crazy. PMs and engineering leads sniping at each other, etc. - executives are totally lost. Only 2 of them have leadership experience elsewhere. - everyone claims that Evan or Bobby is championing their personal pet projects/agendas - secrecy secrecy secrecy - everyone else outside of engineering not so competitive pay - HR is a joke and they still don't know how to manage performance outside of hiring expensive consultants to tell them what to do - layoffs are shrouded in secrecy even from managers - terrible backloaded vesting for those pre-Jan 15 2018
