Pros
- There are still some great people here who care about the work and each other. - The mission is meaningful, even if execution hasn’t always lived up to it. - Some teams manage to keep a supportive and collaborative culture despite the challenges. - Good work/life balance - Compensation is fair (but doesn't scale well over time, regardless of performance)
Cons
- The company has been losing a lot of senior engineering talent, and it shows. Many of the most skilled engineers are either gone or promoted into leadership roles (including Staff roles), leaving fewer hands-on technical experts. - Morale is shaky after repeated layoffs, and it feels like we’re in constant rebuild mode. - Leadership seems to think perks (like a "fun" onsite) are the way to rebuild the company, but most employees would much rather see competitive pay, stability, and recognition (specially after years of mediocre yearly raises, even for top performers, that are generally below inflation). Note: There’s been a flood of 1-star reviews recently, many clearly written out of frustration after layoffs. While not everything is perfect (far from it), the situation isn’t entirely as bleak as those reviews, mostly driven by emotion, make it sound. At the same time, dismissing the underlying issues would be a mistake; there are serious problems that need addressing if the company wants to retain what talent it still has. I’ve worked at real 1-star companies before, and this isn’t one of them.
