Pros

Free lunch, Uber credit every month.

Cons
  1. Communication cost is high.
  2. Project domain by PM, not engineers.
  3. Laid off would not stop.
  4. Mobile architect far away from market.
  5. Very slow development pace because of #1 and the engineering department generates too many rules for engineers to follow, which significantly delays the product and individual improvement.
  6. No culture; people in the same office just come to work and then leave. Too busy to deal with the #1 issues.
Advice to Management

Managers are good, but we just could not stop worrying about our job security and found it hard to focus.
