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.

Cons

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.

Pros

mid level people managers do care about their staff and employees and try to do their best with what they have.

Cons

Upper level management changes about every 6 months with little to no warning which changes the entire directory of the organization. If you are uncomfortable being uncomfortable it is not the place for you.
