Pros

- pay is good - healthcare is great - managers write promo docs, and are judged for their ability at this - lots of culture around mechanisms which in theory drive less emotional decision making - adequate work life balance

Cons

- return to office policies - layoffs, some silent, with no announcement - some teams have terrible work life balance - culture encourages tech debt

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
