Pros

great people challenging and interesting work

Cons

unbelievably mismanaged top to bottom not a tech company lots of politics zero transparency or accountability constant layoffs priorities change every few months zero direction or unity did I say no accountability yet? the most senior leaders do whatever they want with no context, drive the company into the ground, and then they continue to rise up. lots of line to mid-level leaders are great, but the top is not. i would recommend you stay far away from this company. the execs are already selling shares even though our stock is at an all-time low. morale is absolutely gutted.
