Pros
  1. Good cafeteria food
  2. Some useful perks, i.e., ride-based
Cons
  1. Toxic culture (backstabbing managers and teammates, rampant politics)
  2. Outdated tech stack + broken products
  3. Zero or no documentation for products built by former personnel
  4. Lack of innovation (resting on laurels for being the largest professional networking avenue, but competitors catching up fast)
  5. Aimless leadership determined to destroy culture
  6. Talent drain, i.e., lots of good talent (more importantly, good people) left between 2021-2023 (hay gone, left with chaff)
Advice to Management

Too late for any advice. As such, who listens?
