Pros

The health package is one of the best I have seen.

There is good equipment to help you succeed at work.

Cons

15% laid off is pretty much 18% laid off if we actually do the headcount. After the layoffs, company just continue the layoffs secretly, people are leaving, or soon to be leaving, or get piped. Lots of people in the review mentioned about management suck, that should tell you something. The culture is a bit like Amazon, but if you would rather join Amazon since they pay you well for you to suffer.

Advice to Management

Time to trim up some upper managers, good engineers doesn't mean they are good managers, and it's also the other way around.

A good leader empower the team and lead by example, a bad leader just point fingers.

It's not the same company anymore.
