Pros

Good learning opportunities for new engineers. Lots of latent business potential. Flexibility in moving across teams expands horizons. Good benefits, like 401k and health insurance.

Cons

Engineering leadership is very weak and non-technical.

Attrition is high on teams like Payments.

The management team has not been able to hire top talent.

A really weak CTO, non-technical VPE.

Advice to Management

Find a real CTO. Empower engineers.
