Pros

There are some great people here, especially in the tech org. Pay is OK especially if you are coming from FAANG. It was a good option prior to RTO.

Cons

There has been no meaningful product direction for years and no one has any faith in leadership to improve the situation. There are some phenomenal ICs, but most of them seem to be checked out and interviewing elsewhere at this point. WLB is OK if you’re popular politically but there’s a strong PIP culture so employees feel like there’s a target on their backs. Senior leadership is useless and at this point openly antagonistic toward the rank-and-file.
