Pros
adding another big tech profile to your resume if you are joining from another big tech. if you are new to big tech, everything is a pro
Cons
financially, it was the worse move of my career, after 2 years of joining i earn less than what i used to make at my previous employment by 100k!!! recruiters don't explain how compensation works, misleading you with the offer. bonus is peanuts compared to my previous employer (high performer got 2% increase vs >20% at my previous employer) - no cash bonus for performance review (only RSU) - RSU awarded at performance review is only available after a year - no merit increase, the merit increase (2%) is considered a performance review award - performance doesn't translate to a significant financial award, the company uses promotions for a meaningful increase in pay. - a grinder culture where managers need to stack rank every month - primitive productivity tools: a tool for chat, a talk for calls, a tool for writing and tool for reviewing, no office 365, primitive developer tools - death by process - majority of time is spent reading or writing docs.
