Pros

- WLB is generally decent - ICs are smart and friendly. People are collaborative, really smart and impressive. - Compensation is competitive

Cons

- The leadership is astoundingly bad. They fired all the middle managers and have ICs report directly to ex-big tech directors, most of whom are not good at their job. - They like to fire people who have been widely acknowledged as strong performers when things don't go their way; leadership likes to shift blame to the team and throw people under the bus. I have never seen a leadership so cutthroat and so unwilling to take accountability. Do better. - Impossible to grow a career in. Managers care more about making themselves look good rather than growing and supporting their team.
