Pros

Office culture is fun with a lot of emphasis on work-life balance. Technology wise one of the leading companies in the industry. Product is unique and has interesting problems.

Cons

You can work in any mode you want. Population is defensive in work adoption & execution. A lot of inertia over the past 5-6 years and so many competitors have left the company playing catch-up game instead of being market giants that they once were.

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.
