Pros

Was a great place to work with great management until they laid everyone off-- including the great management.

Cons

They laid off my entire team including my manager who I got along with. Word on the grapevine is that all hiring in the US was frozen, and teams were told if you needed anyone, hire from India. They have a shop in India so they are immune to upcoming H1B reforms. They kept a lot of people who were, frankly, useless.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
