      Toxic culture and poor work-life balance leads to burnout

      Pros

      The tech stack is huge with many in house solutions. There were many skilled people who built this in the past.

      Cons

      Quite an unhealthy place. Toxicity, policitis, constant backstabbing and bad optics from team members and manager to stack rank and manage out folks without the option to challenge ratings. People are burning out from this a lot and eventually leaving with health issues. Some teams are heavily understaffed and the WLB is poor. While more political orgs with a lack of scope have enormous headcount. Employees are being fired 1 day they go on maternity leave, or didn't survive their first performance review. If an engineer tries something risky and fails to deliver, it's a high chance of bad rating and layoff. Engineers are taken from their teams into some projects without options to opt out. The CEO thinks money can fix all problems but morale does not exist anymore.
