Pros

Excellent company benefits. Unrivalled pension (Match up to 8% then they add 3%). Subsidised food and free gym. Competitive Salary Good tech stack Awesome people -- incredibly talented

Cons

Note: this is a very Engineering-specific job review. It won't apply to other areas. -You can't get anything done. -None of the work you have to do can be done by knuckling down and getting on with it. Nearly every task you have depends in some way on another team and on factors outside of your control. However, if you don't make it work, you will be punished for it in your performance review. -Most of the day-to-day work will involve working with processes, rather than code. If you like processes more than code, then this is the place for you. -And if you raise these concerns via their All associate survey, *you* will be tasked with fixing them and punished for not doing so. Toxic positivity is a phrase that comes to mind, because you also can't voice any negativity. -The hybrid working policy is a mess and is enforced by monitoring your card swipe data in office. It's a moving goalpost that changed from 2 days per week to 3 days.

Pros

- Competitive salary - Great 401k match - Good benefits - Conveniently located near Metro station - Remote flexibility (for now) - Some good people

Cons

- Stack ranking creates an unhealthy work culture where you're forced to throw others under the bus or be let go - Performance reviews are opaque - Way too many useless meetings - Work is pretty average, to relatively uninteresting depending on your team - Overall very toxic culture that leads to overwork and infighting - If you're driving, traffic is hell. Take the train.
