Pros: * Used to have talented engineers to work with.

* Used to have $50 meal perks.
* I really enjoyed solving technical problems with substantial support from engineering platform teams.
Cons: Losing talent.
Lack of clarity from senior management in big initiatives to catch up with the competition.
