Pros

The total compensation packages (base, bonus, and RSU) remain some of the most competitive in the industry

Cons

The "Year of Efficiency" has morphed into a permanent culture of "Hire to Fire." Onboarding is non-existent; you are expected to deliver high-impact results from day one without a grace period. Management quality is inconsistent, often prioritizing metrics over people. For IC5+ roles, the workload is unsustainable, requiring constant overtime. The lack of job security creates a "walking on eggshells" environment where you are perpetually worried about the next round of performance-based cuts.
