Avoid
3.0Current Employee / Sales
Pros: WLB is fine because most of the company is worried about getting process right instead of real shipping.
Cons: Talent is alarmingly poor. No functional expertise. AI is a mess and competition is catching up. Its pretty toxic and the decison making is chaotic.

Good potential but increasing toxicity
4.0Current Employee / Engineer
Pros: Great teammates, open culture, ok benefits, remote work, good engineering.
