      Pros

      Coworkers work very hard and are very smart (may be a con if you want to get ahead or coast somewhere, this is not that place)

      Cons

      Politics at many levels, promotions/leveling seem arbitrary Various senior hires made that get paid 2x 4x what people who started out of college and been working a few years make. These senior hires do not contribute 2x or 4x the value

      Pros

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      Cons

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
