Pros

Mostly decent work life balance, outside of crunch periods and on call shifts. Probably worsening due to recent engineering layoffs though. Interesting technical problems (depends on team).

Cons

Upper management perpetuate a toxic culture - CEO likes to make personal attacks on employees in public channels. CTO is reactionary and does not communicate well. Flashy demos are valued over robust engineering. Constructive criticism is taken poorly.
