Pros

I would say only remote work for now. 401k is decent

Cons

- several of high performers and first 50 employees were laid off. That tells you can be booted no matter how good you perform - constant reorgs - no tech standards - no roadmap - toxic culture people throwing you under the bus - lot of politics. Managers who didn't perform are still there - rsu down

Pros

Teams are super nice and they have a healthy work life balance

Cons

It can seem like no one actually knows what the priority is. Also specifically in engineering, product seems to always come first before any engineering priorities
