Pros

Fast-paced, lots to learn, you'll find some really cool people who are looking out for you, fun if you're into sneaker culture and fashion, and if you get to work in the main office it's nice.

Cons

LOTS of layoffs, entire teams disappear overnight, and lots of shady dealings (cutting good employees because they got favourable stock offers etc).

New management has been a miss.

Pretty much everywhere, people work ridiculous hours and you're occasionally shamed for not doing the same (I participated in this a lot when I was younger thinking it was cool, but it didn't get any better).

The art department doesn't exist anymore.

Engineers' needs are usually not heard (no time to fix and automate tasks when you can just make it a weekly ticket and do it manually).

There is no real ownership of projects anymore, but all the responsibility if things go wrong.

It used to be a lot better, but the good people left.

Also pay is very mediocre.

Like every engineering job in Detroit was paying more :/

Advice to Management

Be better, listen to the needs of your employees, and structure things like leave and other benefits better, because everyone else does.
