Pros

Free Gym. Free sodas. Bagel Wednesdays. There are foosball tables, ping pong tables, boccie ball court etc but it's in the middle of 4 tall buildings and no one plays.

Cons

First of all, I am quite amazed about how accurate some of these reviews are. I'd like to confirm these reviews as most of it its the honest truth. Promotions are given out unfairly. Lots of favoritism. Hard work is not rewarded. So much secrecy around promotions. No open communication. Horrible work conditions. Senior managers definitely don't know how to lead or motivate their employees. Senior managers only out for themselves and only manage upwards. Pay is not competitive and up to par with industry standards.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
