Pros

+I had a great team and amazing manager +Fair compensation and stock went up a lot during last year (there is ESPP and RSUs) +Opportunities to explore technologies (hackathons, research spikes, try a project on a different team) +Will reimburse for travel, education goal, team building activity +Internal AI bot free for engineers to use (encouraged to use it too)

Cons

-Shifted more and more back to mandatory in-person -Volatile stock -Massive layoffs across teams (CEO said if you don’t agree with Bitcoin strategy, “we don’t want you here”) -Experience varies wildly depending on your team -Company emphasizes Bitcoin more and more over their BI software and even started requiring engineers to take mandatory Bitcoin training -Quarterly performance reviews -Mandatory hackathons (2x/yr) and research spikes
