Pros: Some teams have a good culture.

Cons: Leadership is pushing RTO policy in at least one location

Pros: The work life balance is great and my team works really hard to protect that.

Cons: This is a deeply technical company run by a C-suite that has zero product vision. We haven't built a substantially new product in years with our only new releases being through acquisitions or white-labeling other company's products. For example: before recently acquiring Paperspace for its GPU compute platform, we had multiple aborted attempts to build our own GPU product that were always abandoned as soon as the current crypto or AI hype cycle waned. And now that we have Paperspace, that's being run by our M&A division instead of product or engineering and there's no plan from leadership on how to integrate their wildly-incompatible tech stack. The C-suite is a bunch of clowns LARPing as successful tech execs as they drive this company into the ground. At least the board is finally starting to fire them though.

Pros: Remote-first company Small stipend to cover home internet Teammates are bright and dedicated and willing to share their knowledge

Cons: Most teams have been completely decimated due to poorly executed layoffs. A significant amount of institutional knowledge has left and those roles are being replaced with junior engineers from overseas, and the knowledge transfer for these new roles is moving slower than anticipated. As a consequence of this, there has been a significant rollover and change in C-level leadership as career professionals are resigning to move to new roles. There is a lack of accountability at a leadership level for decision-making. CEO regularly tells people that "if we don't believe in the leadership team, that we should look for other jobs". Travel/Professional Development dollars do not exist for individual contributors, and promotion paths for most, if not all, roles have been eliminated.
