Pros

It is a fairly relaxed place of work with some genuinely clever people who are often the smartest people in the room.

Cons

Company is desperate to IPO, they're cutting back on employee benefits, announcing an RTO mandate with 2 years notice to try and get people to jump ship, and genuinely feels like a place becoming stagnant.

The sheer bloat of management is becoming obscene with new VPs added every few months for no discernible reason. They also have lost several really important technical individuals from the RnD department in recent years and aren't particularly motivated to keep talent. The RnD division has been faltering for a while, and despite spurious claims of doubled productivity there seems to be virtually no output or progress of that department.
