Pros

Good, top tier, free health insurance - pretty much the only remaining good thing The makings of a good culture, execution has been poor lately ...that's about it these days However, I also cannot dismiss the fact that my management was incredible, and my team leadership was elite. I was brought on with less than optimal experience, and was really trained to perform solidly in my field. I owe CircleCI for that. Unfortunately that management no longer exists, but I do know of some solid managers still there.

Cons

Poor leadership/direction Multiple layoffs - after PROMISING there wouldn't be more No cohesive plan, things drastically change every quarter No regard for tenure, you could get laid off tomorrow - even if you're the CRO and on maternity leave Loss of most remote benefits and forced in office requirements No 401k match If OTE is part of your compensation, don't expect to ever hit it
