Pros

The people that make up (or made up before layoffs) were some of the most brilliant people I've ever met in my life and a blast to work with. Kudos to the recruitment team (that got laid off) that found all of this talent. I have learned soooo much from working with these engineers. I always thought their talent was wasted on a call center app run by sales bros.

Cons

There's a lot but I'll just say this, Lack of diversity has always been a problem at Balto, and with their most recent round of layoffs about half of the people let go fall under a protected class. They laid off all of their female presenting engineers except for one. It's a boys club.
