Pros

A good location, very nice start and then horrible.

Cons

Very poor senior leaders. Poor engineering practices. Secret tech mess. In last two years, have fired a lot of people using operations reason then hire more. No loyalty. The firm just focus on getting to stock market and do not care about persons. High turn over of managers. Company where blame and bullying is very common. Good persons leave or have been fired. Very inexperienced engineering and product leadership. hidden architecture mess from customers. you might last longer if you are german

Pros

Awesome tech people, awesome product, some technological freedom.

Cons

Company is rapidly changing to become just another "need to do more, faster and with less resources" type of company. Trying to follow the hype of AI and Agentic Commerce, the company is losing its north. Perks and benefits are being lost week after week...more lay-offs to come shortly, bet on that and you will not lose any money.
