Pros

WLB. Remote-friendly. People are generally nice.

Cons

Terrible leadership. There is no product strategy. The work that we do is doomed to fail and has no business prospects. We are producing AI slop products with no plan for profit. There is an extreme AI-pilled culture that values people who can output more slop over people who actually are diligent.

Advice to Management

Thanos snapping 40% of the company did not resolve the true issue, which is leadership. Replace leadership with external hires who actually have a track record of executing and delivering.
