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.

Advice to Management

Not like they would listen anyways.
