Pros
  1. Money is insane if you are in certain product roles.
  2. Some very smart people still work here; just more have left.
Cons

Been here 8+ years. Since the CEO change, management has slowly pushed into a more toxic, Amazon-style organization with petty politics and stack rankings.

Vacation benefits are so badly misrepresented, it's crazy. Hard limits on unlimited PTO with enough red tape, you'll be lucky in the US to ever get even two weeks' vacation unless you are super senior.

Advice to Management

Stop listening to outside consultants and MBAs who have zero context on the business.
