Pros

Excellent compensation, remote work, interesting work solving a real problem.

Cons

Leadership has become AI brained and is requiring the use of AI for all tasks. You will be judged on the number of tokens you use rather than the quality of your work. They have no other measure for success for AI, just tokens.

The company is a "safe space" unless you have critical opinions about AI. So many senior people are leaving, probably because of this nonsense.

Advice to Management

Be skeptical of AI company marketing releases because you've lost the ability to critically evaluate AI output.
