Pros

Nice office. Awesome lunch program.

Cons

Everything else. Specifically management. They fire/push out the door all of the talent and it shows. Promotions go to the most political butt kissers, while the best have their ideas stolen and then fired. Oh and remember the time they didn't even know about the gas trades that lost them a ton of money? There went the New York and London office. Not to mention rampant racism and sexism in management. Hands down the worst place I have ever worked.

Pros

* Generous PTO time * Generous benefits * In office breakfast * On the edge of AI adoption

Cons

* Constant revolving door of employees * Rife with internal politics * Senior Managers (head of a tech stream) who have little coding experience fire experienced engineers on whim. It takes long time for anyone to come in and get up to speed. All the while causing low employee morale * Comp fluctuates wildly from year to year. The amount promised to you when you join can be cut as much as 30 -40%.
