Pros

Free food, good perks packages overall, nice opportunity to growth but not in all departments.

Cons

All the decision are made in Mountain View HQ, all the other offices are still service offices for the majority of the role and departments, aggregation of great talents without a real company mind. Most of the team are working on their own without infra team collaborations.

Pros

Good benefits and perks. Lot of free food. There are good entertainments but you cannot participate due to the work load.

Cons

Base salary is low. When I joined this company two years back it has the good Developer and QA ratio. Now the developers has tripled and never hired any QA in my team. There is no scope for learning new technologies. Work-life balance is very bad due to daily regressions and frequent Production releases.

Pros

Pay is competitive, perks are average for industry. This is a product driven company, as opposed to engineering (Google or Facebook) or design (apple).

Cons

Expect a total frat house. Seniors and leads in the early to mid 20s. Drink the cool aid and you'll fit in. As a technical program manager, you'll likely report into an engineering manager or director, who most likely knows absolutely nothing about program or project management. Or cares about your career or what you do. Linkedin does not value the project or program manager role, and there is a heavy bias to engineers are all that matter. In engineering, there is roughly 1 program manager to 50 engineers and you are treated like a ,general dogs body. If you enjoy doing admin work, this is for you. The career ladder is lovely, but bears absolutely no relation to reality. There is no leveling across the organization, so career progression and promotions are entirely a draw of luck based on your department, and not skill.
