      Pros

      Mostly friendly good people to work with (some bad apples that proliferate). Flexible scheduling. Free sodas and Wednesday bagels.

      Cons

      Work many many weekends. Deliverables expectations are far reaching in a small time period. Work/life is inconsistent -- either relatively lax for 3 months or crazy busy for 6. Ladder climbers proliferate.

      Pros

      Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

      Cons

      Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
