Pros

Pay and benefits are good. People around you are smart.

Cons

* Hustle culture. * Lots of politics. * Docs are important, but not that much... * Lots of tech debt. * Senior leaders do not care about the eng or the teams, they care only about their own promos and numbers. * Leadership principles are used to the benefit of individuals as opposed to the company's sake * We are required to let go every year: 6-10% of eng, even if they are great eng. All under the pretext that the bar has risen...
