Pros

Executives are very approachable and open to suggestions.

Many chances to rise in the company due to regular reshuffling and departures.

It's easy to shine if you do great work and easy to make a big impact.

Colleagues are friendly.

Cons

Morale isn't the highest, especially after layoffs. Engineering practices are behind the norm, but they're working on it. Quality is often lacking in products. Company focus is unclear and changes regularly. There's lots of thrashing in orgs like talent. The future is uncertain, so the focus is often very short-term.

Advice to Management

Internal mobility is unnecessarily painful.
