Pros

The people on my team were enjoyable to work with for the most part. The company's work-life-balance was pretty good despite the old reputation.

Cons

The tech stack used in the online services area is beginning to show its age. The pay could be better - NYC is expensive and the base salary wasn't enough to live comfortably in the city despite RTO.
