Pros

Generally good people. Some over-promoted. "Big Green Dent" is a good mission but it's become unclear how Kraken (except Flex) has anything to do with it.

Cons

Widespread burnout in Platform team. Lack of investment in basic platform resilience from leadership. Team size far too small for all the work that needs doing. Company talk about valuing people is not put into practice.
