Pros

Initially when I joined, it was very good work.

Great leaders.

Very much available 24x7x365.

Cons

Last summer, everything went wrong. We lost our positive culture and the environment became very political, to the point where no one says a word, just "keep quiet." Heads down, do what you want to do, and no one knows.

We lost accountability. Leaders downplay engineers. Many left and continue to leave.

Message from the top: It's Silicon Valley trends. How do they know? A big question when leaders' presence is missing. You work every weekend with poor releases.

Advice to Management

Top leaders see what's going on. HR gets engaged; don't spend your time in other locations only.
