Pros

Perks and benefits are really good. On-site gym, cafe, flexible work hours, matching 401k, RSUs, time-off benefits, sabbatical etc are quite good.

Cons

Seems like company is changing direction in a major way every 2-3 quarters. Stock is going down. Sellers are disgruntled. Executive team is constantly changing and every new person comes up with a new direction.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
