Pros

It used to be good, but there are not really any pros anymore compared to other big tech companies.

Cons

The pay is lower. The work-life balance is about the same as others now. It is in-office.

Advice to Management

If you want to be an AI company, leadership needs to be replaced with people who have research experience in the field. It's all engineers who don't have even basic knowledge about the AI space.
