Pros
  • The stock keeps going up.
  • Decent job security during the COVID-19 crisis.
Cons
  • The core platform is antiquated, and the work is boring.
  • There is still a startup type atmosphere when it comes to work/life balance. Long hours with little recognition are typical for many, and this has gotten worse recently as the company has gone 100% remote.
  • Engineering teams are extremely political, with lots of infighting and very little development going on.
  • Awkward "woke" culture emanates from a power-hungry HR department.
  • Busy work is rewarded more than innovation, and it seems meritocracy has largely taken a back seat due to the points listed above.
Advice to Management

Focus on the product and our customers. Dial back the activism before we get sued.
