Pros

Had good perks- lunch, snacks, nooks&pillows, ping pong table Good health insurance Nice office/location Filled with smart people that are doing their best.

Cons

The substance is the problem. 1. Communication. "Transparency" is a value, but rarely practiced. Leaders' calendars are hidden, few people know what is happening outside their vertical, leaders obfuscate about how the company is doing and then "transparently" tell us why they made decisions after the fact. 2. HR is a mess. They recently got a new CPO, but he hasn't been able to make much change. There is rarely follow-up from HR, I've seen and heard of investigations being stalled for months, gotten wrong information on employment laws or company policies, and quite frankly, I am scared of retaliation for this post. 3. Image-obsessed. Notice most of my "pros" are the superficial things because the company wants to "show" they care about people. They focus on awards and perks, but I and many of my colleagues did not feel valued as people. 4. Zero focus on professional development, company-wide. 5. Recent lay-offs and pay cuts make me skeptical about the growth potential here.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
