Pros

The pay is good, and the food is decent. Does not make up for the toxic environment.

Cons

Ever since the 2023 layoffs, moral hit a depressing low that management is oblivious to. Quiet layoffs happen every month, and people ops (HR) quickly takes action against anyone talking about it on LinkedIn. Every L7 and L8 has their own silo and teams no longer have direction nor shared goals. Security firm Mandiant was purchased in 2022. Lots of us were let go shortly afterwards, and now Mandiant are the ones getting laid off. Toxic place. Bad moral. Will be looking elsewhere for sure.
