Pros

Fully remote. Flexibility, but hard to take advantage of because of the crippling workload. Many ICs and mid-managers are fantastic.

Cons

Seemingly random layoffs, no vision, knee-jerk panic to carry out very menial and reactive work, no data-focus, and just all-round toxic. The threat of losing your job is the main motivation tool. Getting promoted is virtually impossible unless you get along with the right people. Performance reviews are political and not at all objective. Those that can talk the talk and do optics well get ahead. Many bright stars seem to be a threat to leadership, and have learned to keep to themselves. Those that work well and have a real impact get stuck at the same level. This is a very uncomfortable environment to be part of.
