Pros

Unique challenges to work on, highly competent colleagues to work with and learn from, and high personal autonomy to contribute your best.

Slightly higher comp level, still great benefits even after some reductions were made, paid parental leave of 4 months, and relocation.

The therapy is a must-have here and it is compensated as well.

Cons

Competitive work environment which does not forget and does not forgive.

Regular layoffs, starting in 2022, undermined trust in leadership, despite assurances that "no layoffs are planned."
