Pros

Great work life balance, at least in the SF office. Managers really take care of you and have your career growth in mind. This means even though your compensation is a bit lower compared to other tech firms, the amount of hours you work might make it proportionally better compensation.

Cons

I have no confidence in our product chief, who basically chose to lay off the entire user research team in the name of going back to our start-up roots, and we have no idea what the market wants in our product.

Advice to Management

Cost-cutting and saving are good, but losing product direction is not.
