      Lost the culture that made it great

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Generally friendly people. Solid initial pay, though don't expect any raises. Good benefits.

      Cons

      Became extremely political after prior leadership transitions. Flatness of the company structure completely dissipated. Management plays favorites. Very Machiavellian now - management will cut employees at a moments notice. Culture has totally shifted, though still some residual positivity from those still left prior to the leadership change. No internal opportunities for growth, no internal pay raises. People will take credit for your work to make themselves look better.

      Cons

      - Below market compensation, leading to lots of attrition and knowledge loss - Questionable product prioritization
