Squandered potential
3.0Current Employee / Staff Engineer/Manager
Pros: Smart colleagues, strong tech, pockets of good wlb and culture, early investments in TPU sets them up for plausible AI traction if they can avoid self sabotage
Cons: Seems unable to launch and perseve in support new products, aggressive cost cutting is way past self defeating - perf/promo quotas, no travel, aggressive off shoring, politics and constant reorgs, mandatory commute to spend your day jum...

It shows that they care about people because they still have designated time off, sick time, free food, and travel
5.0Current Employee / Sales Specialist
Pros: A holistic vision that makes sense, and I can bring value with my expertise. The fact that they still have ability to travel to customers, they have their own technology, and seem to care
Cons: Other than using a Chromebook nothing comes to mind. Some ambiguity in how to sell but that's fine.
