Pros: Pretty good work-life balance and remote friendliness. Bureaucracy isn't too bad for its size, and finding your own impact is heavily encouraged. The company leans in hard into AI.
Cons: The company isn't that meritocratic these days; everyone's outcomes are sort of compressed. Leadership is respectful these days, but running a bit short on exciting ideas.
