Pros

Good work-life balance and decent base pay.

Cons

Nothing replaced RSUs when the company got purchased by private equity, and many took a significant pay cut. Culture is toxic, leadership is clueless, communication is nonexistent, and chaos is normal.

Advice to Management

Go to a psychiatrist and get some treatment for your narcissism. You’re wrong most of the time, and you look like an idiot.
