Love my job!

Business Outlook

Pros

Over the last 3 months, I've seen and met a lot of engineers, product managers and others who are really smart, engaged and focused on providing the best possible quality (and I mean literally - we've had jams over how a certain animation impacts our users understanding of the product and the business impact). Things like ownership are fairly clear, people move fast and you really feel like you are delivering something valuable.

Cons

Lack of some developer productivity infrastructure - I've been wanting a virtual machine with a static IP for a while and I can't get it yet. But they are aware, acknowledge the issue and are fixing it.

Pros

Intentional, planned, positive culture The people on my team have been really inclusive People are really proactive and helpful Pay is really good Equity is really good Lots of opportunities to get involved in interesting and important projects outside basic in-team project work There's a big focus on contributing back to society Breakfast, lunch, dinner and an amazing variety of snacks are provided, as are heaps of drinks, including beer in the evening Dara's leadership is great "Unlimited" vacation time, and really flexible work/life balance

Cons

When being a small part of a big machine, some of the work can be relatively tedious The learning curve is really steep in a company with so many services and so much history There's quite a bit of complaining over trivialities Lack of effective ability to debug code due to high number of systems Some people focus on vesting and then moving on Public perception, even within the Silicon Valley tech community
