Pros
Good office, good coworkers. Used to be a great company, but not anymore.
Cons
This company used to be a great place to work, but things changed after new people stepped into engineering leadership. Since then, the culture has taken a turn for the worse. There’s now a focus on big, shiny ideas that often don’t match what teams can actually build. Feedback from engineers isn’t really heard, and important decisions are made without involving the people who do the real work. One of the biggest surprises was when the entire QA team and all engineering managers were let go. There wasn’t a clear plan for how to maintain product quality after that. It felt rushed and poorly explained, possibly just to save money or because there was too much trust in AI tools. Engineers are now required to use Cursor IDE, which does have helpful AI features. But instead of using it to support better work, it’s being used to demand faster results. There’s a lot more pressure now, and it’s causing burnout. A large number of engineers have already left, and many others are feeling unhappy and unsure about staying. Communication from engineering leadership is mostly one-way. Conversations feel more like being talked at than listened to. Decisions around hiring and team structure often happen behind closed doors, which makes things feel less fair and more confusing. Another major issue is that teams are constantly being reshuffled. Every few months, people are moved around or teams are reorganized, just because leadership thinks so. This has created a lot of instability and made it hard for engineers to feel settled or focused. The product itself still has potential, and there are good people working on it. But the lack of clear direction, constant changes, and growing stress have made the work environment really tough. People are walking on eggshells. The recent eNPS score was -58, which speaks volumes about how employees are feeling. I hope the company can turn things around, but under the current leadership approach, that feels unlikely.
