Pros

- Good food & office - Generally nice people - Good benefits (even though they cut the $100/month fitness stipend)

Cons

- Bad management - Have a lot of "engineering" managers who are not technical at all - Not enough PMs/designers so everything takes a long time since they each have so many projects - Designs are reviewed by VPs in design so approval takes a long time - Some orgs are really toxic - Culture changed a lot after 2 layoffs, became more Amazon-y
