Pros

+ Company as a whole doing well and good revenue numbers + Talent bar is generally pretty high but not as good as it once was and starting to lose top talent

Cons

- Toxic management + terrible wlb - Becoming increasingly political, which projects you get to work on, promo performance reveiw, has been increasingly about who know. - within AI, constant project churn/changing of road map + lack of product vision, very few successful products - substantially decreased refreshers + comp recently, especially for those who have been there a long time - slow career growth + promo timelines and no longer with the increased pay to justify it - no longer really innovating or doing anything interesting as a company - still no 401k
