Pros

- Capable co-workers - Best management I have ever worked for - Interesting work/technology - Work/life balance reasonable - Competitive salary - Good business sense, you generally work on things that are successful and growing

Cons

- Fairly sterile work environment; some aspects of the culture are tone-deaf - Sometimes hard to learn from colleagues: feels like you are on your own - Development environment can be frustrating; it takes a while to get things done, and it seems like half of your job is spent supplying credentials to do anything

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.
