      Great talent and resources, but toxic

      Member of technical staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of high-profile talent, compute, good salary. Many of the problems are ambitious. Can move very fast (though quality and long-term planning may be terrible). Good for technical growth.

      Cons

      Opaque management, constant scandals, high rates of firings. Growth problems, hiring toxic people which take advantage of the opaque structure. Not much expertise outside of the main domains, surprisingly bad in some cases. It looks like the management thinking that they cracked llms so everything else is simple. Cult-like company culture. Some people are even proud of having a poor WLB.
