Pros

good time off days relative to industry, bonuses were good but now is deteoriating due to weakening profit and revenue growth, supports education upgrading

Cons

horrible management external recruits ! bad decisions by management to pay exorbitantly for Skype, lost most of the cash and long term value through bad acquisition decisions. Management largely incompetent but masks it by re-orgs and frequent powerpoint presentations via "ALL-HAND" meetings.

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.
