Pros

-comp is somewhat competitive -decent work/life balance

Cons

-Morale is in the toilet since the company split. Most good leaders left, those that remain are sub-par. -cost cutting measures are squeezing everything. Now only VP's can fly biz class for international trips; apparently only they merit humane treatment while regular employees get to suffer on a 9 hour flight. -Fake culture that doesn't ring true. They brag about nobody having offices, not even VPs. But in reality all that means is VP's have a permanent conference room taken offline to be used as their office. The reserve parking spots for VPs, but label them with something random to "hide" it from employees - "delivery parking, logistics parking, etc). Look nobody cares if a VP gets a parking spot, but don't try and hide it. - HUGE amounts of political turf wars since the company split, since the majority of the leaders are new. The top brass (Devin and his directs) are either blind or ignoring it, so lower level employees are too busy worrying about their future to do their day job. - Zero career growth. Absolutely zero. Nepotism reigns supreme here. I know it's a common complaint from employees at most companies, and sometimes unfounded.... but here it really is a massive problem. - IT department operates like it's 1998

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
