Pros

Remote work, pay is near FAANG-level compensation.

Cons

The company is going downhill fast. It cannot develop any new products to stay relevant, so it's making various random grab acquisitions and pivoting its entire company strategy every year. It just did a mass layoff.

Advice to Management

Push senior/executive leadership to make coherent and actual plans and product strategies. Every All-hands is buzzword fluff, and every pivot is very generic (“Now we’re going to focus on AI!”). An actual product plan and cohesive strategy are needed.
