Pros

potential for a great place to work, good technology, good engineers, many opportunities for people jump around to a new job every 2 years, the breadth of products is quite large.

Cons

management are mostly marketing or sales types that have never built a product, the company needs more technical people in management. Many people delegating or too many people wanting to be manager and not enough people to perform actual work. a spreadsheet management mentality, focused too much on results and numbers and not using common sense to make decisions. Alot groupthink in management.

Cons

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
