Pros

Great work-life balance. Pay is okay, I think. They have nice offices.

Cons

50% mandatory in-office attendance, which leaders do not follow. The new leadership is not technology-oriented anymore.

Advice to Management

The problems here are twofold.

  1. Product is making all the tech decisions. This makes for a horrible time in engineering.

  2. If you aren't ranked Principal, nobody will listen to you.

This is not how the culture used to be before "EG". In the past, any good idea would be looked at; now, if you don't have "rank", you don't matter. I feel this is culturally bad and hinders innovation.
