Pros

the work life balance is great and my team works really hard to protect that.

Cons

this is a deeply technical company run by a c-suite that has zero product vision. we haven't built a substantially new product in years with our only new releases being through acquisitions or white-labeling other company's products. for example: before recently acquiring Paperspace for its GPU compute platform, we had multiple aborted attempts to build our own GPU product that were always abandoned as soon as the current crypto or Al hype cycle waned. and now that we have Paperspace, that's being run by our M&A division instead of product or engineering and there's no plan from leadership on how to integrate their wildly-incompatible tech stack. the c-suite is a bunch of clowns LARPing as successful tech execs as they drive this company into the ground. at least the board is finally starting to fire them though.
