Best in class teammates Google Benefits solid product

Cons

startup environment with all of the growing pains, even a decade + later multiple rounds of layoffs that go unannounced- massive lack of company wide transparency unclear future of funding- company size is continuing to shrink and no headcount growth projected for 2024- bad signs ahead 4 rounds of layoffs for 2023 so far across various areas of the business due to cash conservation
