Pros

Very good benefits, company has a decent trajectory, 401k match is nice

Cons

Lots of benefits cut that won't be coming back to what they used to be. 4 week sabbatical at 4 years, 8 week sabbatical at 7 years if you save your 4 week sabbatical (not anymore), it is now 4 week sabbatical at 7 years. ESPP lookback gone, bonuses are unstable. outdated work culture, experience is heavily dependent on your manager, promotions are miles away,
