WLB
Remote work (which is slowly ending).
Strong ICs
Cons
Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution.
Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline.
Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”.
Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit.
RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving.
Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
