Pros

Working on cutting edge tech. Compensation is decent.

Cons

Seniors dont have a courage to take feedback from juniors. Talent is not appreciated. No rewards for top performers Difficult time serving notice period as pressure mounts Management has no clue on competing with other market players Stock is on to a downhill and no traction from wallstreet. David is making some improvements but its not enough.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
