Pros

The work is great, demanding and exciting. There is a long journey ahead and enough interesting things to learn and implement.

Cons

Way too political and at times hostile culture which is very negative. Everyone is expected to say positive things in larger meetings and take dissenting opinions outside of even planning meetings. After a while, senior engineers and even managers get disinterested in providing their feedback and just focus on the job required.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
