Pros

The perks included good pay, remote work, and challenging problems.

Cons

The culture is worse than Amazon. ICs are measured by PR count. Leadership is aggressive and openly hostile towards employees, and all execs just drink the Jack kool-aid and agree with his ranting 3am manic episode emails. It's a really weird and toxic place.

Advice to Management

Sell the company for parts and shut it down.
