Pros

Very talented and experienced engineers and managers. A fare amount of freedom on how to build the product.

Cons

Owned by BlackStone, with it's woke policies. Seems to be on a constant cycle of misplaced product decisions and employee layouts. Struggles to keep their core customers happy while the blindly pursue new market segments that never seem to materialize.

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
