Pros

Opportunities to do new things, solicited for opinion, great benefits, really, really smart people to work with- in a good way

Cons

Old habits die hard in how they do things, slightly resistant to change, salaries slightly under, too much health focus- feels like getting a bit more than necessary into personal lifestyle

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
