Pros: 1. Pay is good, especially for those who were around for the stock growth.
2. Work with smart folks typically.
Cons: 1. Extremely toxic work culture, where teammates throwing each other under the bus and stealing each other's scope is not uncommon.
2. They increased the BE distribution to 15% - 20% recently, so just more people they can lay off. At the end of every half, it's like the Hunger Games, with everyone trying to survive to the next half.
