Pros

Good work life balance. Nothing else really.

Cons

Now it is all about politics and what makes top dogs look good. Play along and you'll be supported. As long as you enjoy other people dictating to you what to do and yet holding you responsible for the outcome, you'd have a black of a time here. Company makes grand claims about their values. All of that is only on paper.

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.
