Pros

-Most managers are very flexible around working hours, if your position has that luxury -Good benefits -Fast paced environment can challenge you to grow

Cons

-Lack of strong leadership -Chaotic planning and execution of corporate changes -Fellow employees can be really rude, a culture that was created internally long ago through the notion of a "meritocracy" and all ideas are great to share. This often came in the form of openly criticizing colleagues.

Pros

Great culture focused on open source.

Cons

Compensation is below average based on salary and difficult to obtain higher compensation. AI efforts are limited internally although customer-facing products have access to foundation models that internally we are not able to use. We are even cleared to used gemini despite our strict internal development policy.
