Pros

Most people and front-line managers are great, and the work can be very interesting.

Cons

Leadership under Jassy and Garman is a joke. Senior leadership seems to hate their employees and are actively trying to get us to quit. Everyone I know is demoralized and just hanging in because the job market is awful. Work/life balance is getting worse by the day.

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.
