Pros

Pretty decent benefits and pay. Free beverages provided. There's really not much else I can say - I'm just trying to reach the 20 word minimum.

Cons

In the department I'm in, most people work 60-90 hours / week. Weekend and night time work are an expectation, not an exception. Culture imposes leftist principles and beliefs on employees. The influence is now complete with propaganda-feeding leftist news articles displayed on new screens in every elevator. I don't consider myself particularly right-winged, I just consider any form of political influence from an employer to be an intrusion.

Thanks so much for taking the time to review. We're super glad to hear that you are enjoying most of what we do but would encourage you to speak to your HR Business Partner about some of your specific concerns. We very much foster a culture where you can "engineer" your career path and would love to chat to you about your development and growth.

Pros

Lots of company events (celebration for Chinese New Year; anniversary celebration; brought in the Humane Society bus sometimes); good compensation; productive team; QA and code review mean it's hard to ship a bug; my PMs were AMAZING and taught me that PM-ing is actually incredibly useful when done well

Cons

YMMV--it seems like every team experience is incredibly different. The tech/IT desk is terrible at what they do and pretty transparently sexist. Expect to have to google your problems. For a huge company that on-boards a lot of people regularly, the on-boarding process was ridiculously bad. Documentation isn't up-to-date. Everyone has heard of the problem you're having, but no one remembers how to fix it. Similarly, there are a lot of undocumented code requirements; you end up getting knocked back in code review for requirements that you've never even heard of before.
