Pros

Excellent perks, company takes good care of the employees. The 2 star mentioned in the overall are because of the perks and the CEO only.

Cons

Exercise caution before considering joining this team. Initially, they may appear good and reasonable, but their true intentions become evident over time. They have a habit of periodically terminating employees, choosing targets at will. The testing team, in particular, may seem busy but lacks substantial work. Their credibility is questionable, as they frequently fail to uphold their promises. Senior management seems disconnected and will go to great lengths to stifle dissenting voices. If you seek a peaceful and stable work environment, this may not be the right choice, as decisions change abruptly, and even top performers can suddenly see their performance decline when the company decides to terminate them. The manager in question displays unprofessional conduct and, in the event you become a target, may adversely affect your professional life.

Pros

Product itself is solid and works well in its space Some smart, talented people at the IC level

Cons

Management quality is inconsistent at best, some managers lacked basic managerial skills and created a stressful, unproductive team dynamic. I can only speak for my department but culture has shifted from collaborative to highly individualistic; siloed thinking is now the norm. Directors and senior leadership are largely disconnected from ICs feedback goes nowhere and decisions often feel top-down without real input from the people doing the work. Career growth paths are unclear or nonexistent; promotions seem arbitrary and opportunities are hard to come by.
