Pros

Base pay is good if you're lucky.

Cons

Leadership is in complete disarray and extremely predatory. Never seen anything like it. Company has been in a solid downward spiral for a while Promotions and yearly bonuses bonuses have been nixed with no promise to resume, just a half hearted plan to review at the end of summer. Layoffs are continuously happening beyond the three main waves. People are voluntarily leaving continuously on top of that. Virtually no hiring at all. Pay gaps can be massive especially for those who have been loyal and with the company for a long time and have been thanked with stagnated wages. PM and strategy can be all over the place Skill ceiling is lower than I expected when starting Negative, fearful culture

Pros

Agile environment and highly challenging. There are no longer strictly fixed roles — the company strongly encourages the use of AI tools, so you’re expected to deliver features across mobile, backend, and frontend.

Cons

- Smaller teams mean less specialization and more pressure to adapt quickly. - Strong performance culture may feel intense for people who prefer slower-paced environments.
