Pros

Great technology, incredible people, good benefits

Cons

Company has successfully fumbled well over 500 million in funding. Ric is comically unaware that his company is not google, and they now have run out of money. What once was a joyous company to work for with great culture, has slowly nosedived into a toxic work environment. They fired many critical engineers and then realized it was a mistake. Then they tried to rehire them and many did not stay. This is obnoxious incompetence by management and shows how little they comprehend the day to day tasks of their technical teams. Many are leaving and management is reluctant to backfill those roles. Its important that management gets a hold of this toxic atmosphere and steers it back in the right direction.
