Pros
* Hard working team: the quality + dedication of the individual contributors, managers, and directors in engineering is consistently admirable. People work very hard. * Lots of work for ICs to actually do. Never a dull moment for those of us who easily get bored.
Cons
* Everyone above the director level is asleep at the wheel. Leadership continuously makes bad bets or can't make key decisions on how to land+expand in a very crowded and noisy market. * Employees can expect about 5% of the staff to get laid off every 6 months with occasional larger RIFs. Our headcount is a fraction (which I am not allowed to post per Glassdoor rules) of what it was in 2022 when the former CEO had his first round of layoffs. The impacts are oblivious: we have almost no QA staff ; bugs make it to prod and impact customers. Engineering is busy since we have the workload of 2-3 people; We have less bandwidth to support customers when these bugs arise nor can we build features to keep up with our competitors.
