I really like my manager
Cons
Code, tools, processes all old. A lot of time lost on everything but development (fighting with tools, trying to understand old code, etc).

Cons
Chaotic management.
Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless.
Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
