Pros

Some people are taking it easy with wfh. Lots of freedom to take care of errands, travel and put in a two hour day (usually meetings). Decent compensation for a 10 hour work week.

Cons

All the good people come and leave after maybe one year vest. Some people leave before the RSU grant because yolo and the management stupidity isn’t worth the cash. Many ICs are looking for new jobs but some good people are stuck because of H1B. Everyone talks about the churning of good engineers. They also give bad enggs big titles so they will stay. If you outstay everyone else you can be a star here too. The ceo is desperately keeping the company afloat with promises and hot air. Does anyone in management know tech? I doubt it but some of them could play Voldemort or Draco in Harry Potter. The cfo leaving recently is not a good sign. Shaky finances. Future of irrelevant tech for those unlucky to stick it out.

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
