Pros

The recently laid-off recruiters did a great job finding talent.

Cons

A lack of vision from the top creates a confusing work environment where expectations and project goals change from week to week. The content design management is particularly inept, and they won't think twice about blaming subordinates for their own bad management and lack of clarity. It wasn't always like this. It's been dramatically worse since Q2 of this year. The talent is there, but managed so poorly. Everyone seems to be unhappy, but the managers pretend everything's wonderful and love to pat themselves on the back. "YAY! I love my team! Now you're on a PIP."

Pros

benefits and pay and (used to be) remote flexibility, platform used to be unique (no longer, just AI slop)

Cons

toxic, fake environment where people are encouraged to only look out for themselves, teams work in silos for shortterm gains no stable leadership or leadership vision in company culture and growth no leadership transparency or genuineness, middle managers are products of nepotism or false promises no focus on career growth or development diversity and inclusion is just for show - not ingrained in values or practice filled with tech company veterans all trying to recreate toxicity from ex-employers
