Pros

This used to be the greatest place to work. People were passionate about the work and it showed in their commitment to doing the job right.

Cons

Recent events have eroded trust in leadership and the belief that the company is designed to do good in the world. People are promoted based on their ability to curry favor with the boss, rather than execute well in their role.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
