      Pros

      Good work/life balance. Working for a company that matters in the industry. Lots of smart people around. Doesn't offend my sense of decency (like some other companies would). The hybrid working environment works well.

      Cons

      Average compensation. Lots of good people are leaving due to Nvidia/IPO paralyse, lack of clarity around strategy or for better paid positions. Reporting one best quarter after another at the same time cutting jobs, benefits and being generally cheap. Senior leadership comes through as disingenuous. Usual corporate issues with promoting talent and career progression, if you or someone working for you gets stuck (not their fault) in a "wrong job" it's impossible to get them promoted even if they deserve it. Lots of internal conflicts, bing egos and politics driving (or more often stalling) decision making.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They take care of employees. Holiday parties, frequent all hands meetings, and general concern of feeling connected to all aspects of the business.

      Cons

      Recent changes have changed the original, creative culture at arm. Now just another company taking whatever measures necessary to complete tasks as inexpensively as possible without regards to employee impact.

      More fun for some than others

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Still a reasonably well-positioned technology company.

      Cons

      Reading some other reviews, it seems we have many new people who see the company as a place with a good pay package and good work-life balance. I suspect this is purely due to the fact that the more established employees still do most of the real work, leaving the less useful new people time to do more fun things like DEI engagement and/or have their work-life balance. Despite massive employee growth, it's still largely the same people doing the heavy lifting, while not being appropriately rewarded, and are now also expected to support/train all the new people and their quest for work-life balance. This doesn't seem very good for our work-life balance, nor is our reward appropriate for the added workload. Also, uncertainty first with Nvidia, now with IPO, restructuring etc.
