Pros

Perfect benefits that cover everything and don’t require payments. Good WLB except recently since layoffs started.

Cons

High stress, crazy expectations to use AI even when it’s not applicable to the problem, below average pay, crazy hard to get a promotion. Constant fear of layoffs hitting any moment. Seems like they want to get rid of all people asap.
