Pros

There used to be great coworkers passionate about the product and fun to work with

Cons

All those coworkers have either been laid off or left on their own. The teams that were laid off made no business sense at all. Execs decided to layoff entire teams whose work were dearly needed to finish the product, and kept the rest. However, by keeping the rest, they had to have different roles, since their roles were taken over by Yopeso engineers. The company culture was the best one I've ever had, but it got totally ruined and it will never be the same again.

Pros

Worked with some good people. Used to be a good anime company. Nice office space. Dogs.

Cons

Was hired as an engineer, transitioned to the product team. New boss got inappropriate real quick. Tried to walk me home, followed me to the bus/my gym, texted me all the time. Made hanging out with him outside of work part of my job. Tricked me into meeting him at a restaurant under the guise of work. There's more but you get the drift. I stopped responding to his texts. Got told I wasn't properly committed. Was given a bad review. Sent pages of text and slack messages he sent me to HR. Lawyer and HR said it was my opinion I was being harassed. Asked to go back to engineering to get away from him. Was promised that would happen. A week before it was supposed to, got told me I had to interview for engineering again. Only senior positions were open. Tried to find any other team or boss to work under. Company said no. Department got new leadership. Was told creepy manager was going to be fired. Never happened. I left well over a year ago. He's still there. Tech_Industry.txt
