Pros

- pretty great team mates - the spheres (if in Seattle) - you learn a lot, really fast - the scale of everything you do is unmatched outside of FAANG

Cons

- extremely poor WLB - 5 day RTO & company tracks your hours at the office - 401k employer contribution is very small - promotion process extremely political, if your skip doesn't like your manager you can forget a promotion - as someone who started at L3 level and made it to L6, your pay is consistently at the bottom of the range no matter how highly rated you are on performance reviews

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
