Pros

- Easier FAANG to get into, leading to great career opportunities. - Total Comp is competitive - My particular team was great and supportive

Cons

- My Org has to PIP 10% of its worst performing SDEs every year regardless of their actual performance which is why I left. - Workplace benefits are scarce. You pay to park, pay for food/snacks, happy hours/events are rare: I've heard and experienced anywhere from 0-4 per year. - 401k contribution is industry-low.
