Was great under Sid; horrible under Bill

Pros

All remote, ICs are generally really great to work with and highly collaborative

Cons

Nothing but downhill since the new CEO took over. Lack of direction, revolving door of employees, and super low morale that has consistently not been addressed

Great remote work and compensation, but poor leadership issues

Pros

Fully remote, good compensation. One of the best engineering team I've ever worked with

Cons

The new executive team is either not telling the whole truth or doesn't know what they're doing. Some initiatives and expectations seem to have been pulled out of thin air and are completely unrealistic. The CEO let many long-time company members go and brought in a large number of former Microsoft employees into leadership positions. They have significantly damaged the company culture, started playing politics, made decisions behind closed doors, and set unrealistic expectations. The overall perception of the executive team is that it is incompetent.
