Pros

* Fairly relaxed culture, by tech standards * Interesting problems, "big" data * Coworkers are nice and friendly people

Cons

* Some people are clearly coasting * Salesforce as a whole is not doing well (<10% Y/Y growth) * Random layoffs and poor communication from company leadership * In-office requirements of 3 days/week doesn't make sense for many (most of the people I work with don't even live in New York)
