Pros

Used to be an amazing company with strong values culture. Still some good folks hanging on.

Cons

Work culture is beyond toxic. Execs are panicking as they have no vision for the product. The company has zero understanding of margin and profitability.

Pros

Great work-life balance, meaningful opportunities for career progression, great people

Cons

The new c-suite is clueless and the company has no mission. They seem to think that if they just talk about AI all day then the money will flow in. The product needs to prioritize quality, but leadership only cares about increasing output and has established silly target metrics like "500 MRs per engineer per month". They fail to see that more code is not what will win the market.
