There have been significant changes in culture and (at least perceived) job stability in the past two years specifically. See the significant layoffs in early 2023 and the surprising and completely unnecessary layoffs that just happened a week ago. Transparency about decision-making is now basically non-existent. The literal only communication from the CEO was that there will be more layoffs.

Travel budgets are also non-existent now.

All in all, it's still a good job. But it is significantly worse that before, and the trajectory does not seem great.
