Business Outlook

Pros

RSUs , bonus, money are good

Cons

expect constant fear of layoff because of random reasons like RTO to a faraway city, expect last minute scope change, product decisions solely based on how "sticky" a feature is (sticky as in making sure the customer can't replace the product easily) expect infrastructure to change every 6 months without notice or consultation
