Pros

Good pay, nice offices, good professional development opportunities

Cons

HR only gives a slap on the wrist to threatening behavior in the office. Leadership makes arbitrary decisions, breaks trust, and pushed AI way too hard and too fast too the point it started breaking products and hurting customer trust.
