      Pros

      1. Innovative Tech, get to work on challenges at scale that I would find rarely anywhere 2. Culture of writing docs for all solutions is way better than any other alternative 3. There are weekly Principal Engineer talks on various topics, I love it.

      Cons

      1. Leadership isn't as transparent as I'd like them to be about business, layoffs and reorgs are the only times we get to know about the business status. 2. Some of the leaders care only about their own growth and wouldn't care about high attrition of SDE-1s, SDE-2s & SDE-3s 3. WLB? What in the world is that?

      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.
