Pros

- Looks good on paper

Cons

- Push to return to office. - Compensation is nowhere competitive as what they say it is. Jr engineers at other companies make more than Sr engineers here. - No merit increases (aka raises for this year) - New CEO means new drastic changes, have yet to see any positive results

Thank you for sharing your concerns openly. Our working ways may be evolving but trust and flexibility remain at our core; and so does the power of being together. This evolution is not a step back but a step forward, blending office and home presence to take the best out of both worlds and boost purposeful collaboration. And while we keep offering flexible options to foster a healthy work-life balance for all, we also believe in the power and value of in-person connection. The transition isn't happening overnight and we're committed to making it as smooth as possible for everyone, adapting to people's needs the best way we can.
