- Free food (ok)
- WLB can be good (depends a lot on your team)
- Constant fear of layoffs now.
- Neverending migrations, several at once even.

- No real vision or innovation, stuck redoing the same thing constantly.
- Worst product org ever.
- Insanely top-down and manager-bloated.
Stop pressuring ICs for meaningless deadlines or quit to trim overhead.
