Pros

Surrounded by incredibly smart people, everyone is friendly and really helpful.

The office space is great, with amazing perks.

The tech stack and dev tools are like no other place I've ever worked.

Cons

Everyone seems to be obsessed about work, and finding a good life-work balance is hard. The ramp-up is hard, working with complicated large systems. Not enough time to enjoy all the perks that the office has to offer.

Advice to Management

Poor management decisions with recent layoffs and changes in culture.
