Pros

Office is nice and have good perks, like lavish company annual meeting and good office vibe. Colleagues are good to work with in general.

Cons

Everyday fighting with fire, they constantly sent development to work on customer issues which support engineers should have dealt with using different skill sets. Management is very nasty, expect colleagues disappear often (fired). They are not likely able to go IPO within several years and long term doesn’t look solid too, so good luck holding shares in this slave driver.

Pros

Product itself is solid and works well in its space Some smart, talented people at the IC level

Cons

Management quality is inconsistent at best, some managers lacked basic managerial skills and created a stressful, unproductive team dynamic. I can only speak for my department but culture has shifted from collaborative to highly individualistic; siloed thinking is now the norm. Directors and senior leadership are largely disconnected from ICs feedback goes nowhere and decisions often feel top-down without real input from the people doing the work. Career growth paths are unclear or nonexistent; promotions seem arbitrary and opportunities are hard to come by.
