Pros

Front line leadership is engaged and motivated. Most employees are loyal and dedicated to doing good work. Great benefits Upgrades to building are welcoming Good work/life balance

Cons

Layoffs offset high operating costs making it difficult for current employees to do their job. HRBP's are more interested in making themselves look good to management instead of helping employees and will throw others under the bus so they come out ahead (especially the one who supports HR).

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
