Business Outlook
Pros
CEO is actually looking to steer the behemoth into the public cloud. Uniquely positioned to understand the needs of non-tech companies and create broadly usable solutions (albeit very inefficiently).
Cons
Meetings meetings meetings. Very waterfall; deadlines are determined by product stakeholders at the beginning, without consulting engineers, and never modified. Local management can (and was for me) very 'butts in seats' mid-pandemic, and regardless of the company's 'pledge to flex' ("you don't have to be in here 5 days a week 9-5. Just 8 hours of your choosing MWF. See? Flex!). Equity grants are budgeted only for ~half the team. 401k takes 3 years to fully vest. Comp is below market for companies of its size/name brand.
