Pros

- WLB - Most coworkers are easy-going

Cons

- Leadership is horrible - Wasteful acquisitions leading to future cuts and layoffs - Slow pace - Product management vision sucks - Leaning into AI without any regard for quality or user experience/security - Products turning into vibe-coded messes - Compensation is way below market Good place to work for a bit, but stay here long enough, and you'll be unemployable. Skills atrophy is real.
