Pros

Good office location with good efforts to make it more friendly, like pizza parties and tech knowledge sharing sessions.

Cons

There have been 3 layoffs in 2 years, with more than a dozen internal shifts in strategy. Before 2020, it was "let's be profitable." After 2020, it became "let's quickly expand." Then 2022 was "oops, let's be profitable." This led to team switches about every 6 months, with new managers, new goals, new everything.

Advice to Management

Make up your mind on what you want to achieve, and stick to your guns.
