Pros

Strong work-life balance and a genuinely smart, collaborative group of engineers. The company is investing heavily in integrating AI into everyday workflows, which makes the day-to-day work feel forward-looking and engaging.

Leadership direction has felt misguided at times, and the periodic rounds of layoffs have taken a real toll on team morale. It's hard to stay fully engaged when reorgs and cuts feel like a recurring pattern.
