Pros

The quality of engineering talent was high. The majority of engineers went on to other big tech companies.

Cons

It never felt like we were working on anything serious. Most of the use cases were not real and the company's financial problems were too distracting.

Pros

-> Good work/life balance -> Fully remote, but offices are very nice -> Low-level employees are great people

Cons

-> Company REFUSES to hire. Some positions have been open for 2.5 years -> No one is backfilled. When someone leaves, that position is gone forever. All teams are understaffed, most have been understaffed for >2 years, many teams are completely gone and others must maintain their projects -> Middle management and upward are completely incompetent -> The entire company changes priorities every 3-4 months, top-to-bottom -> My team has been reorganized 9 times. I am on my 8th manager in 4 years. -> The cruelest and most cut-throat managers get promoted, the compassionate ones don't -> Technology org particularly is an absolute rats' nest of chaos, incompetence, and politics -> You will not get promoted. Even with the absolute highest possible performance reviews, you will never be promoted
