Pros

There are still some good people working there. Seattle is nice. On paper the culture could be good, depending on your team.

Cons

Out of touch management usually. They don't do what they say or practice what they preach. They over-extended in blitz high risk ventures which get cut and laid off or doubled down on doing meaningless work on money grabs that don't actually help customers.

Pros

Getting the chance to work with brilliant engineers and make an impact on important projects is intoxicating. It's an amazing place to grow your skills as an engineer. The pay is also great.

Cons

Intentionally tight deadlines are commonplace, and the competitive environment wears on you very quickly. There's a reason why turnover is so high. If you're looking for work-life balance, this is not the place to find it.
