Pros

For the last many years it has been very good environment for engineers of many levels of experience for growth. Great mission, lots of great people, fair benefits, great culture on the paper.

Cons

Layoffs followed by demotivating speeches by C-suite a bad tasting in all of the mouths. Stock was having $60/share in 2020 December, now scraping around $10/share. Recent CTO hire with repugnant personality goes against everything they claim the culture provides. Just another corporation at this point trying to make a buck.
