Pros

• Many opportunities for cross pollination; learning and sharing skills with others • Lots of great teammates and talented individuals to bump elbows with

Cons

• Very difficult to move vertically up the company ladder, feels like a club • Salaries are falling below industry standard • Despite public outlook, AI is still #1 priority for senior leadership, and every project is centered around how to further implement into product • RTO policy betrays company's earlier promises, and overall seems like a means to force resignations to save face and keep company from paying out severance

Pros

- Great benefits and stock options - mostly talented engineers to work with - a good name in CV

Cons

- a very messy process each team is its own island (depends on the org). - with the new MAI every thing now should be about AI even if it doesn't need to - every manager applies the performance review by their own understanding no alignment on how performance should be meausered
