Pros

There are still some good engineers and product people who work there, but it feels like everyone has one foot in the door.

Cons

Culture has degraded over the last year and a half. Lockdown didn't help but management doesn't see this as useful. There is major lack of empathy at the company. Top management says very unreasonable things too often. There is no clear sense of Why. And because of that the how is broken. There are a lot of "LEADERS" who are not leading. Most of companies departments are siloed and not willing to work together as a OneTeam. Agile processes are broken and feedback doesn't seem to get back to top management who keep changing it without good reasons.

Too many good people are leaving which further degrades culture. There is a lack of checks and balances for who does what. Many people are just coasting while others are working their backs off to make a great product. There is hyper-growth without reasonable efficiency in place so things get bigger and slower.
