Good People, Slow Company
Good, intelligent, compassionate people. Everyone gets along well, for the most part, and has empathy for one another in terms of work-life balance and difficulty of asks.

The engineering is slow. Super slow. The teams seem to move like molasses. Lack of vision and leadership in the tech org.
