Pros

- Good people - Good focus on mental health and work/life balance - Good product with a strong following

Cons

- Senior leadership completely detached from the customers and employees, only concerned with stocks and shareholders. - No cohesive long term strategy at high level, given the standard "attract more customers" and "make more money". - Mid level management provide "freedom" by basically expecting teams to come up with ways to "make money" and then check in every quarter and critique teams for not "making enough money" - Low morale after reset - Pay could be higher for the work - Good place to start a career, not a great place for senior roles or parents (except in middle management)
