Pros

Cafes are great, surrounded with brilliant people.

Cons

The engineering-focused structure is vanishing.

Promotion is now according to strictly enforced quotas.

Layoffs are now a rolling reality, without connection to job performance.

Advice to Management

Go read the founder's letter and do that.
