Pros

- Opportunity to learn from high bar engineering processes - Work with very talented folks - Fluff doesn't last long, neither people nor projects. so you you stay on toes, always learn and build new meaningful work

Cons

- Frequent reorgs and manager changes impact ratings - Your manager is extremely powerful. Sense a bad manager, move asap - see a non-diverse team - 90% or more from one part of India and you are not. watch out ! Find another team soon!

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
