Pros

People you'll work with are generally very talented and competent. They like what they do, care about other engineers, and will do all they can to mentor and share information. Tech is difficult and this is a great foundation for best practices. Lessons you learn will stick with you for entire career. Company is very solid and your RSUs will be good for long-term growth (won't tank like Meta lol)

Cons

A few coworkers have figured out how to game the system and do the bare minimum. Leadership goals are always overly ambitious, but that does not translate to additional stress if you're working on internal-facing products with flexible deadlines. Conversely, strict deadlines can be very stressful. Can still grow career, pay, and earn high ratings if you work hard and scale impact.

Pros

There are still some good people working there. Seattle is nice. On paper the culture could be good, depending on your team.

Cons

Out of touch management usually. They don't do what they say or practice what they preach. They over-extended in blitz high risk ventures which get cut and laid off or doubled down on doing meaningless work on money grabs that don't actually help customers.
