Pros: Extremely smart people who I've learned a ton from. They have very impressive technical impact and work with lots of cool clients.
Cons: Some questionable decisions from leadership, including really sparse raises after the stock tanked. This caused a lot of really good people to leave. I was very concerned about the brain drain before I left.
