- Each week you feel more like a number than a person - Management chain is each time more dictatorial, with top downs that are far away from being backed up with data or metrics - They think every employee should be replaced by AI at some point - More and more the individual contributors are less and less heard

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
