Pros

Used to be amazing and a wonderful place to work. Metrics are still great on the outside, ripe for an acquisition. Could potentially be turned around with the right leader(s) at the helm.

Cons

Continued and repeated hiring and promoting of Trump-like staff. The loudest person at the table wins, not the one with the most sensible argument. The true talent have departed one by one (or in one fell swoop of layoffs) and the only people left are the ones who are continuing to perpetuate all the stereotypical silicon valley types. HR is beyond useless. Parallels with the stories coming out of Uber right now are disheartening.
