Pros

Pay was a above market rate

Cons

The CEO is incompetent, and completely propped up by others. Anyone who disagrees with him is swiftly shown the door, which explains why so many senior hires barely last a few months before disappearing. The company strategy also reflects Mel Gelderman's incompetence as a leader. It changes constantly, with no clear direction or vision. It's chaotic and reactive, lacking any real foresight or stability. HR is a joke. Rather than supporting employees, they seem more interested in covering for toxic management and protecting their own position. It's a mess that works against anyone trying to improve things. The company used to be a tech company with real innovation at its core—now it’s just a basic, boring social media company desperately trying to replicate the successes of companies from 5-10 years ago. Engineering is a complete joke. After a 50% reduction in talent, what's left is a hollow team, with no vision or capability to drive the product forward.
