Great work-life balance. Good pay. Good benefits. Nice mission (if we actually paid attention to it).

• The company had a soul; it's lost now.

• Reorg after reorg, but only in the lower levels.

• As the title says, "leadership principled" managers are here now. Incompetent people that can't write a freaking test stay because they play the politics game. The more vocal, passionate engineers are rated below expectations because those FAANG managers have an ego.

• The company moves like a handicapped turtle, so the competition is eating our lunch.

• Sometimes the focus is music, sometimes the focus is crypto, and sometimes it's AI. Square and Cash App lag behind while those others get sorted out.

Leave the Batcave.
