Pros

Engineers are extremely fun with work with, except one or 1.5 ex. Many great ...(making up the min word count...)

Cons

Quoting the CEOs post on Linkedin, the company is shutting down Seattle office, of where one of the founders resides. Originally an Android company, someone high up came in with another interest and completely wiped out the culture and pivoted directions a couple time. (This is non private info. You can find it in internet articles.) Closing down the Seattle office so as to consolidate engineering and improve communication under one roof? The Seattle engineer head count way outnumbers the Palo Alto. The palo alto office is an executive office. Ah no wonder. What is the asset for an engineering company? Engineers. Oh! They just let all of them go. To save a sinking ship, you threw some people off the boat and filled holes with dead bodies. Meanwhile take down the Android flag and fly a new "AI" flag. Wasn't one of the VPs hired for "intelligence" let go (according to TheInformation) before you found this new AI flag?

Pros

The people are nice and I learned a lot from the people I interacted with on a daily basis.

Cons

Lack of communication, c-suite manages in absentia and doesn't take accountability. Promotes a toxic culture of smoke and mirrors and doesn't reward hard work and commitment.
