Pros
Pay is good and on time.
Cons
Leadership is a disaster. CEO and President have watched too many AI demos and concluded that engineering is easy now. Human PR reviews were made optional because why have experienced engineers catch problems when you can just ship and break things in production? The actual quote from leadership: "Get over the mindset that you write better code than AI." That tells you everything about how much they understand what they're building. No clear requirements. Constant pressure to ship. Everyone is expected to be 10x - except their definition of 10x is pure volume. More PRs, more tickets closed. Quality, impact, correctness; none of that factors in. Engineers are forced to game metrics, churning random PRs not because they want to but because the system leaves no other choice. Quantity over quality, by design. The CEO claims to be 20x productive. In practice that means an AI tool auto-generating Jira tickets with no clear requirements, no actionable definition, no real problem statement. It looks like progress from a distance. Up close it's just noise. The tech team is collaborative and supportive of each other but that solidarity stops at management's door. Nobody can push back, nobody can raise concerns. You just absorb the chaos together. The leadership isn't steering, they're just accelerating toward the wall and calling it momentum. The ones who stay will be the ones who couldn't find better yet. That's the team you're joining.
