Pros

- interesting work, plenty of opportunities to learn and grow - access to cutting-edge AI tools - opportunity to work with very highly skilled and talented people

Cons

- the company culture has shifted over the past few years, and not in a positive direction - toxic culture in some teams, with many people only interested in furthering their own careers rather than growing and being successful as a team - company glorifies "rockstar" developers with no people/teamwork skills - constant changes often disrupt productive flows - work/life balance is often ignored; many teams don't accommodate people based in different timezones and expect them to work late hours

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
