Pros

Mission of the company is worthwhile. Legacy employees great to work with. Solid employee benefits and some free lunches. Bay area and DC offices are nice new locations with remote work possible.

Cons

Most of the people that built the company are now gone, mostly due to attrition and lost hope waiting for company to grow...tor they were just laid off. New CEO hired to take one last shot at profitability with worthwhile new direction in hopes of finally turning a profit. Unfortunately the new leadership has brought with it a miserable, toxic and political culture. Executive team now scared to act boldly and the new organizational restructuring was poorly thought out. New leadership also has little interest in learning anything from legacy employees. Old company culture was largely free of politics, but that has all changed now.

Pros

Team and engineers are good.

Cons

Senior Management and CEO not very good. Poor leadership skills of CEO. Made a non-political environment, highly political and toxic. People have to watch their back constantly. CEO wants to be surrounded by "Yes" men/women and is highly vindictive
