Pros

Working remote is possible. Huge amount of AI tools to help your work.

Cons

30% of the company was laid-off (mainly engineers), then leadership told the rest to "use Claude" to pick up the slack. Engineering quality is severly plummeting, and we just lost decades of institutional knowledge by cutting 10+ year veterans. Leadership’s AI obsession is tanking the company. They basically sold the long-term viability of the company for better quarterly results now. This strategy is catastrophic.
