Good people, questionable management
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Knowledgeable people, mostly easy to work with. Interesting problems to work on. Typically good work/life balance, though that may be changing, especially since the layoffs.
Cons: I question whether management has a clear and realistic long-term vision in mind. Things change very rapidly, which, again, seems to indicate poor long-term vision and direction.
