Pros

Hybrid-first (effectively remote if you want).

Great manager, but this varies significantly from team to team, I've heard.

Good mix of interesting and intense brand-new projects and calmer sustaining work.

Culture emphasizes work-life balance.

Cons

Pay seems low compared to several other companies. The location is in a relatively high cost of living area, further compounding on what seems like low pay. The decision-making system seems bloated and inefficient. Significant vestiges of old toxic work culture remain, with a focus on finger-pointing, though there are signs of improvement. There are no more free lunches after COVID/RTO perks were abandoned. Austerity measures saw layoffs and reduced 401k, salary, raises, promotions, and bonuses for those who stayed.
