Pros

- Good salary - Good work-life balance - Great and wise people in engineering

Cons

- High management seems a bit lost with the company's direction. - High management used to show off more often with internal updates. Now it lacks visibility. - Unpaid on-call rotation with mandatory time-to-respond. Get paid only if called and wasted more than a given time during the incident. - Shifting engineering to India and letting go of great minds with great contributions to the company, leaving void spaces without preparation.
