Was amazing, but losing its way
-
Get to work on amazing, industry-leading tech. It's awesome seeing your work making headlines.
-
Still small enough that your daily work really matters. You're discovering things for the first time, and constantly have a chance to make someone's life a lot easier

Good culture of ownership for the most part
- Leadership is in disarray. People who never should have been managers are leading large teams and making terrible decisions.
- Focus on inspiring health-related work in Africa is all but a memory. It's still happening, but leadership is only concerned with the US retail market, and it's reflected in the priorities.
- Senseless push toward working unnecessary hours in-person to meet arbitrary deadlines that are inevitably missed by weeks to months anyway.
- Has reverted back to startup mentality, where 90-hour weeks are glorified. Despite being a supposedly global company, still believes that San Francisco is the only place that anyone worth anything must be.
