Pros

Pay range, some teams are great, amazing and really smart people

Cons

Every day more and more wasteful processes and absurd rules. It no longer feels like day 1. The company culture has significantly gone down

Pros

Good pay. Most engineers are skilled.

Cons

If you had 1000 achievements and 1 slight mistake, you will be forever known by your mistake: managers intentionally force you to work on what you are least skilled "so you learn". Very long hours. Internal tools are pathetic, unproductive, leading to very long hours. As a manager, you must sacrifice people because the curve is the law. No matter what, 10% of your people must be labeled as Least Effective (LE), even if your team is composed of rock stars.
