Pros

close to home (That's about it)

Cons

• dysfunctional culture: people don't reply to emails, don't answer phones, don't show up for meetings even when their calendars show them available, etc. • much of mgmt focused on building empires, not great products...and decisions follow • while there are some good people, much has seen "bozo explosion" with folks that are apathetic / don't care / barely show up to pick up their paycheck. • little innovation • poor decision making process (Very reactive with frequent 180 degree direction changes) • insane amounts of technical debt • horrific HR policies that protect Directors and above at ALL cost. • most folks seem to arrive 10a and leave 3p (based on parking lot) - not sure if/how required work gets done

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
