Pros

+ Flexi work arrangement, WFH on Fridays + RSU + Plenty of really great people to work with

Cons

- Company as a whole keeps changing direction, resulting in projects getting delayed / poorly executed. - Finger-pointing is rampant when there's delay to the project schedules. - Program managers are aplenty. Some speak so loud as if there's arguments daily on the floow. - People managers hired to take on technical role. Some can be clueless in the technical aspect.
