Pros

The benefits package is good. My team is reasonable in their expectations when it comes to work/life balance.

Cons

Compensation here is lower than average. Promotions are given based more on politics (who used to work with whom at a previous company) than actual job performance.

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.
