Pros

I can't think of any. It was a fun place to work at, with lovely and talented people, but not anymore.

Cons

The company has been in a mess after rebranding. There is literally no focus and vision. Now the company is just about hierarchy and politics, and a bunch of uninspiring people.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
