Pros

Rto is only 3 days (for NOW)

Free Tues and Thurs lunch (Wed and Friday have been removed)

Coworkers are nice

Cons

Trying to become like Amazon

New CEO experimenting

Leadership pushing AI for employee performance without full understanding of how to use AI at scale

Projects move very slowly and the valuable ones get dropped due to empire builders and mismanagement

United Healthcare insurance is terrible

Work life balance has been decreasing over the years

Bleeding top talent, constant trickle of good people quitting

Advice to Management

There are too many VPs. Why do we keep hiring more VPs and GMs? There are too many PMs who are not delivering value. We need to fire non-technical managers.
