Pros

- If you like solving hard technical problems at high scale, this is the place to be. - High talent density of individual contributors - Good compensation and benefits

Cons

- CEO is whimsical and dictatorial - C-level execs are filled with yes persons. The leadership that built the company have left, the vacuum has been filled by execs who have changed the culture for the worse. - Acquired a company for $2B then sell it at a loss within 10 months, multiple round of lay offs after publicly declaring no lay offs. This shows leadership have no clue. Common sense dictates that CEO should be replaced for such blunders but we know that’ll never happen, they workers are going to pay for the mistakes.

Pros

- Autonomy** - Great Pay & Benefits - Lots to learn - Lots of technical variety - Overall company stated culture is great - Good resume booster - Unlimited vacation package that works - Work / Life balance is around or above average - Flexible compensation

Cons

- Lack of direction - Sub teams may not match culture presented by company - More product/project management than people management & mentorship - Have to work to find support or mentorship - Mentorship doesn't come from people you interact with regularly - Everyone cares most about making themselves look good over making good software - Lack of process means a lot of re-doing work or committing to things with a lot of unknowns. Mostly a waterfall style project structure so if you thrive in agile and working closely with teams during the whole process of a feature development then this process will be a big change.
