Pros

There are still some good people left, but a lot of the best moved on.

Cons

Founder is in way over his head. Broken promises from executives.

Every couple weeks they claw back another benefit. Extreme micromanagement makes it hard to get work done.

Flat out lies from VPs and executives (e.g., saying no layoffs while cutting hundreds of staff). Very low comp unless you compare to cherry-picked, boring Canadian companies with a very low bar.

Recently put most devs under a sketchy alt-right VP. Culture is completely dead at this point.

Advice to Management

Listen to feedback. Get over yourself.
