Pros

- interesting work, plenty of opportunities to learn and grow - access to cutting-edge AI tools - opportunity to work with very highly skilled and talented people

Cons

- the company culture has shifted over the past few years, and not in a positive direction - toxic culture in some teams, with many people only interested in furthering their own careers rather than growing and being successful as a team - company glorifies "rockstar" developers with no people/teamwork skills - constant changes often disrupt productive flows - work/life balance is often ignored; many teams don't accommodate people based in different timezones and expect them to work late hours

Pros

Strong engineering and product culture with talented colleagues. Flexible remote work policies. Good autonomy and opportunities to tinker with state-of-the-art AI tooling. Technical challenges are interesting if you're early in your career.

Cons

Company is in cost-cutting, share price optimization mode. Slashed comp structures, wild org changes, role restructuring—all designed to limit upside and cut expenses. Revenue org got gutted: replaced individual quotas with team quotas, destroying earning potential for top performers—my potential comp is dropping by at least $50k CAD despite positive "Mastery" rating and strong performance. Benefits getting trimmed, salaries squeezed, constant reorganizations that conveniently cap compensation growth. New customer pipeline is bone dry—mature market, limited growth opportunities. Career progression unclear unless you pivot to management. No path to meaningful comp growth, external hires get way more than internal folks.
