Pros

Fantastic co-workers, some managers. Being around the dogs was always fun.

Cons

The C-suite is all people who just wish they were running a tech company. Toy designers are asked to re-skin old products in lieu of new innovation. No one below a manager level is valued. Round after round of layoffs. Constructive feedback or different ideas are seen as a threat or entirely ignored. Employees who were around pre-2022 loved what it once was, and were desperately trying to get back there. But we were all eventually kicked to the curb.
