Pros

With a good manager, you'll learn a lot.

Cons

The way they handled the layoffs in August was reprehensible which is being nice. Don't trust upper management for anything. There's a saying in Chinese, translated it is "Gold and jade outside, rot and decay inside" which perfectly sums up the company in a nutshell. The company has started its decline, I'll enjoy watching it from the outside.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
