Pros

Opportunity to work at a company that is leading in many areas of software and AI innovation.

Solve technical challenges for scalability and opportunity to learn some of the most widely used cloud technologies, such as Azure, etc.

Cons

Middle management is toxic and destroying the company culture. People in power often take advantage.

Employee sentiments are at an all-time low. There is more pressure than one can handle.

It is increasingly becoming the norm for one person to do two to three people's jobs. Work-life balance or the mental health of employees is the last thing the company cares about.

Advice to Management

Lead with empathy
