Pros

After upsetting setbacks and reductions in force, we seem to be trending back the right direction and our priorities are aligned. Work/life balance remained unaffected and are outstanding. Opportunities for growth are all over.

Cons

We might still be trying to bite off more than we can chew with all the things we want to get done

Pros

Good pay, good projects and smart engineers

Cons

Company does not value loyalty, they laid off the best and the brightest who have given years of their loyalty to the company. Instead they kept people who can show off the fact they have done lots of work to higher ups. Dirty politics, and lots of blame game recently, unlike before when it would be more transparent and more collaborative. That is what happens when you grow this fast this quick, the culture nosedives. Quality has deteriorated, and morale is low which was not the case before. Pay inequality based on gender still exists and is really a problem.
