Pros

Large stable company with growth opportunities. Unlimited PTO. Mental health dedicated company themes and understandings addressing employee burnout.

Cons

Oncall as this was not made clear in the hiring process. A week of your time will be taken while oncall and depending on the group it can be stressful. Some teams have no human relationship building and feels very cold with low morale. Career growth feels restricted as the mentality seems to be to get tasks done quickly, but don't dig too deep. Innovation feels hard as that requires a deeper more time consuming understanding of things, but contradicts the rapid task turn around mentality. Management has not placed an active role in career growth on some teams.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
