Pros

Good pay, good projects and smart engineers

Cons

Company does not value loyalty, they laid off the best and the brightest who have given years of their loyalty to the company. Instead they kept people who can show off the fact they have done lots of work to higher ups. Dirty politics, and lots of blame game recently, unlike before when it would be more transparent and more collaborative.

That is what happens when you grow this fast this quick, the culture nosedives. Quality has deteriorated, and morale is low which was not the case before. Pay inequality based on gender still exists and is really a problem.

Advice to Management

We need to measure people's worth better, and be more mindful about the company being at the whim of the stock price.
