Pros
There is some pockets of ok people who are doing 2-3 people’s job. SE leadership are solid and genuinely care about their people for example.
Cons
I’ve never worked for a company with so much open contempt for their employees and customers. From the outside they look like a well functioning company, but inside there is so much rot, lack of accountability, relentless blame shifting and scapegoating. It’s hard for anyone who remotely cares to do well in a general culture of incompetence. There is no backend support to support things like licensing issues, if you reach out to support teams like sales ops they just do not respond. The people of tenure longer than 2 years are either handcuffed by a sunk cost fallacy waiting for an IPO or are genuine sociopaths. Constant, relentless layoffs make it impossible to catch your breath or focus leading to a general anxiety that feels reminiscent of red scare period; senior leaders are whisked away and disappear over night with comms about their departure heavy with latent disrespect.
