Pros

Co-workers are usually great to work with. Friendly and hard working. Remote work.

Cons

They just laid off about 150 people today. Some of the most talented and smart engineers in the company. Very bad management, from upper to mid level. Investing heavily in AI with very little to show for. Everyone is overworked. Expect to work nights and weekends regularly.

Pros

- Valuable to have a job in this market, and somewhere that historically pays a market rate - unlimited PTO for fulltime

Cons

- New CEO is something...concerning. Workforce reduction, replacing C-suite with former pals from previous companies, huge push on AI without the subsequent reassurance that our jobs won't be replaced. Seems like the goal is for all of us to train AI to do our jobs before getting let go. Really tone deaf when us little people have livlihoods on the line.
