Pros

1. Very dynamic upper management. Very clear about their strategy. 2. Very good pay 3. Opportunity to work in industry leading technology

Cons

1. This could be team specific but too much of micromanagement. Often was taken to an extreme in my team and caused confusion about actual expectations, priorities etc... Also the manager would always talk in a derogatory and accusing manner. Seemed like the aim was to make me feel bad. Depends on each individual’s preferences and sensitivity but this caused a lot of anxiety to a point where I had to quit. 2. Growth can depend on a lot of other things than the actual talent and contributions such as what / who a particular manager favors whether an individual is from a “top” school

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
