Pros

Company has good values. CEO has great vision, communicates, and motivates. Hybrid work. Good product that helps people.

Cons

Bad middle management. Authoritarian and micro-managing. Engineering by committee. No autonomy given to individuals. No freedom to be creative and come up with new ways of doing things better and more efficiently. Bad work-life balance. Eroding culture and morale as a result of bringing in new management that is authoritarian, narcissistic, and micro-managing.

Advice to Management

Keep an eye out for employee culture and morale. It's going downhill fast as a result of new management in engineering. It has become a very harsh place to work. It is not business as usual right now. The undercurrent is very troubling. The company intent for some sites might be compromised as a result of new leadership that is prioritizing hiring in their preferred region. There is no trust of this leadership as morale has eroded fast in the last few months.
