Cons

"Woke" environment: you have to bear the ideology imposed by 1% with psychiatric sicknesses.

No direction... everything changes on a daily basis... Impossible to focus on a task for more than 10 minutes. Either there's a 12658489th meeting of the day, or some colleague interrupts you to confirm you do agree that a man can be pregnant or that white people are responsible for the death of dinosaurs in the Jurassic era.

Scala is evil.

Advice to Management

Hey guys, don't hire people in April after 5 rounds of interviews and technical challenges, only to fire them in November after a 3-minute call.

And if you have no other choice than firing people, please keep the good ones, not the low-level ones.
