Pros

Really enjoyed the first 60% of my time there. Somewhat enjoyed the next 25%. Hated the last 15%.

Cons

Mismanagement by middle management, followed by increasing micromanagement, led to a lack of trust on my side. On top of that, overall compensation was fairly low, due in part to an ever-sliding stock price.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
