Pros

- Interesting Problems - Interesting People - Different interesting avenues to explore

Cons

- Top down decision can feel like engineers are after-thought and not involved in decision making or don't have a voice - Politics can play a role, although not so much that it's unbearable - Things change fast - Long hours, but you are excited to do them? Although, manager try to discourage this. But things move so fast, that it can feel like falling behind and you have to compensate

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
