Not as human first as they claim

Pros

Wellness weekends (shared 4 day weekends across company) Feels like immediate team cares about you, but definitely not leadership. As far as I'm aware recent layoffs had a nice severance (5 months). Unsure if will be that way still going forward.

Cons

No recent salary increases. Pay is not as high as other companies. Bonus is only ever stock. Rto mandate even though you're team is in different states and countries, so you drive in for zoom meetings. It also doesn't take into account pto or sick days, so it encourages people to come in sick. (Told you have to "plan better" if you can't make minimum...). Half of your time will be meetings, more talking about how to do the work and not enough time to do it. Pto amount not super generous, wellness weekends help. Reorgs removed required roles that business is not refilling, so more non work put on others outside of sprint commitments.

Cons

* Not confident in the executive leaderships long term vision * RTO is always rough, openly basing their takes on anecdata * Worried that we're going to hemorrage people
