There has already been an exodus of talent. I know one personally, and know of a lot more. They lock them down with non-disclosure settlements. Bad management, internecine politics, the whole caboodle. A pity, because it could have been very good, but they went with exactly the wrong team, and insisted people move from the Bay to Florida, which didn't help with retention.

Can confirm. Work there now. Major leadership failures across the board. Engineering talent is mostly there. The "wrong team" starts at the C-level. Looking for an out in FL now -- finding it very hard to maintain salary. May move back to west coast, but not quite ready for that yet.

  Are they at least paying you a Bay Area dev salary? Curious if they used retention bonuses with a big cliff? I for one will never take a job with a vesting cliff if I can help it.

    NDAs of anything about the company for departing employees too, which is what I meant to say

    A 4 year vesting with a 1 year cliff is standard, is that not what you're referring to?
