* Increasingly a passive/aggressive culture. As company size increases, number of 'bad apples' has increased. * Teams differ greatly in terms of quality & culture. Do your research. * Mid-life careers can die here. Little opportunity for growth when you become more senior so know when to get out. Too many people clinging on for dear life and too scared to explore things outside of Google because of the 'golden handcuffs'. * Work/life balance can be atrocious in some senior positions. A lot of lip-service paid to making this better. High compensation essentially becomes hazard pay. * Junior people are often too overqualified for their entry-level roles. It's a great place for them to start but know that you should consider leaving after 3-4 years if new opportunities are not opening up for you. Too many don't do this and become miserable.

Massively overcrowded offices, more lawyers and Human Resources bots than engineers, company is terrified of Amazon's growth and just trying to copy everything they do, zero innovation
