Pros

Some remaining smart and talented people from before Alphabet spinoff

Cons

There is a lack of clear vision and transparency in leadership communication. Work–life balance is poor, and there are limited opportunities for growth. Promotions tend to favor a small inner circle, while many employees who consistently work hard are often overlooked. Additionally, there has been ongoing confusion and uncertainty around equity compensation, especially following the sudden 70% reduction in RSUs announced last summer, which significantly impacted employee trust
