Pros

Cool product, cool people (mostly) Brand + marketing (new CMO is pretty cool)

Cons

Management is too busy chasing metrics to justify their own jobs Slow moving...nothing gets done unless it pleases the right people Lots of "old-heads". CTO has been here for 12+ years, some engineering leaders have been here for 5-10 years...they're stuck in their ways, and are satisfied with their little empire while getting clobbered by other companies of similar size CEO is an idiot who just follows whatever the board tells him (might as well be AI at this point) Engineering standards are pathetic but they think they're NASA
