- Fast growth creates problems, esp scale problems - Company could be more efficient - Not always clear what to work on - A bit too much of people complaining vs fixing things

Pros

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
