They definitely care for their employees, are pretty flexible to helping you move in whatever direction you'd like with your career, and give a lot of autonomy for those who want to step up and take the reins.

A lot of zigs and zags in direction over the past few years that led to a lot of wasted engineering effort.

Engineering org seems to favor a "bottom up" style of leadership where individual contributors just kinda pick a direction they want to go. To me that seems like an absence of strong leadership and planning and I think the products and the org have suffered because of it.

Put less value on individual autonomy on a pod-by-pod basis and work harder towards some cohesion between the various distributed engineering teams. Have strong leadership make actual plans to get things done. Don't be tricked into thinking that "no process" doesn't come back to bite you eventually.
