Pros

People were sometimes nice and it was an interesting business space. Pay wasn't bad

Cons

The strategy and leadership changed constantly, in often incomprehensible ways. Leadership was often not tech-savvy, or when they were, they were not hands-on enough to avoid chaos.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
