For the most part seems like a good company to be an FSE with. Good starting pay.
Cons
Benefits are slightly lower than average for the field. The company is starting to take away a lot of flexibility in the field work. Flexibility is the main factor draws engineers to this line of work. You start taking that away, and people leave.

I joined in 2022 and have sat through 3-4 silent layoffs around me, which is anxiety-inducing. I have coworkers that check warn notices weekly now because of the paranoia.
