Not the company it used to be

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits, though salary growth has slowed in recent years Free meals and remaining on-site perks are still a plus Work–life balance can be reasonable, depending heavily on team and manager Generally flexible day-to-day expectations compared to many large tech companies

Cons

Company culture has steadily eroded over the past several years, with fewer genuine community or morale-building events Increasing emphasis on metrics, efficiency, and profitability over employee well-being Messaging from leadership strongly reinforces that employees are interchangeable resources Noticeable increase in attrition, alongside performance management practices that feel quota-driven rather than performance-driven Ongoing uncertainty following repeated reorganizations and workforce reductions
