Pros

- Good compensation/good benefits - Modern tech stack - Lots of areas for opportunity - if you're willing to put in the time to pursue those opportunities

Cons

The cons I have experienced pertain to the team that I am on and may not apply to other teams: - lack of expectations - the need to consolidate important information from too many sources - work/life imbalance - dysfunctional workplace dynamics - micromanagement - multiple reorgs within the year - layoffs

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
