Pros

Only pros are remote work and most of the people I worked with I enjoyed.

Cons

The leadership team is terrible. They make horrible decisions and they are running the company into the group. The result of their terrible decision making? A massive layoff to try and make numbers look good in the short term to save the CEO's job.

Pros

Global workplace with some diverse talent (even if not internal)

Cons

Bureaucracy, 6 rounds of interviews. Not kidding. Thats more than any FAANG company would dare conduct. Zero transparency on upcoming interviews, ghosting after interviews etc.
