Pros
- Some smart coworkers
- "Alphabet", "ex-google" on resume for now
Cons
- Empire building is rampant. Get ready for constant ownership arguments between teams.
- Way, way too much top-down force from technical leadership
- Massive bureaucracy inherited from Google, except now in a company with no net revenue...
- After exiting Google the equity program was abruptly yanked away due to indefinite "restructuring". On paper our compensation is suddenly 30-40% less per person with no recourse.
