Pros

some of the people you meet here are truly amazing, those who actually know how to do the job are willing to help you better yourself.

Cons

Management is going down, priorities change every week if not every day, they worry so much about ticket touching or ticket count, that quality of the work does not matter to them, they got some really good L2's working that deserved to be L3 but don't want to promote them, some L3 that deserve L4 but get same response (it's all about finance for your promotion)... what a joke. Then they hired L2 that act like kids and don't respect leadership and do nothing, but if a L3 does that it gets in trouble. Management has become a huge circus from top to bottom.

Pros

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

Cons

Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
