Pros

Love the pace and document culture. Its like playing for the Yankees, I imagine, in that every year there is an expectation of excellence, and the company hires talent to meet those expectations. But like the Yankees, you have to perform to stay in the lineup. That is exhilarating for me

Cons

No one is going to regulate your work life balance. You have to manage that yourself or you can find yourself overwhelmed. Promos and OLR don’t have consistent rubrics to ensure employees with similar titles across orgs have similar scope and performance comparisons.

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.
