Pros

Lots of AI tools are available.

Cons

Employees are treated like disposable garbage.

Benefits are quite bad, and the 401k is only $600.

Constant silent layoffs and reorgs.

Kaz talks like a child and is always swearing to make himself sound cool, making him the most unauthentic person ever.

The business model is not going to work in a higher interest rate environment.

Accept an offer, but keep looking elsewhere.

Seen them layoff people right before getting their stocks vested at the end of year 1 and on pat leave, so don’t keep your hopes high.

The office is like a hunger games environment where everyone is wondering if today’s the layoff day and has no culture. You’ll be forced to RTO into such an office.

The leadership is incompetent and arrogant at the same time.

Advice to Management

At least pretend to care
