Pros

Location is great. Engineering talent is top notch. Good work-life balance. Love the guest speakers that come by. Very social group.

Cons

Leadership is uninspiring. Difficult work culture with the worst combination of micromanagement and grassroots. Very silo oriented. Management does not value their employees. Emotional abuse and lack of trust is a common sight.
