Pros

- Comp can be very good, if you were able to negotiate - Decent WLB - Past history of humanistic, open, transparent management

Cons

The company culture was destroyed by massive over-hiring during the pandemic. Tight-knit teams of 10 people metastasized into seas of 40-50 remote workers people with little-to-no personal connection. There's too many people, and not enough meaningful work. Some of the company's best people were arbitrarily laid off in March. It's hard to justify working hard or putting your soul into something when seeing many of your best colleagues eliminated for no fault of their own. Far too much performative empathy senior leadership / skin-deep social justice advocacy that feels grotesquely inauthentic.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
