Pros

Some talented and kind coworkers but more leaving every day.

Cons

Low morale, stock price tanking, poor wlb, high turnover, PIP culture, all anonymous questions at all hands because employees fear speaking up, no long term strategy or vision, messy product, no faith in SLT, no career growth, forced RTO including employees who were hired and told they would be remote, unsafe office location.
