Pros

They offer some good programs to progress careers. Flexible hours (“kinda…”) Nice technology used in the cloud. Very clever teammates.

Cons

No work-life balance. The workload is unbearable. 2 of my teammates left the company because of high stress and burnout. Very tough approach from managers who just want to show good metrics to the upper management. So they rip off everything you have in order to make them look well in their metrics.

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.
