Pros

• Friendly people • Good work-life balance • Work is generally interesting and stimulating

Cons

• Struggling to grow in sales and revenue • Many senior employees appear lazy (or else entitled) and don't do much in the way of substantive work • Having difficulties (re-)establishing itself as a strong e-commerce player • Can't escape the perception that it only has used inventory and that items are only sold by auction

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.
