Pros

Great team of people @ mid-management and below.

Cons

Not a meritocracy. Empires, conjecture and opinions rule the decision making with little consideration for facts nor metrics.This manifested into Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) hell, every day one more person placed on a PIP = managed out. Crazy be at work policy - conferences with video to make sure you are really doing your job...lack of trust from top management filters to all aspects of the office.

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
