Pros

Best technology out there, if you want to build fast and big Unending number of jobs to try over time in a variety of fields Good compensation

Cons

Forced attrition goals can motivate managers to push people out just to hit a number rather than build people up. Encourages all sorts of bad behaviors. Employees are not told for months that they are on the first phase of an improvement plan and then get surprised with an offer to exit. No transparency, no accountability.

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
