Pros

Competitive pay, flexible working hours, rewarding work and smart, warm work colleagues.

Cons

Everyone works on different software/storage solutions; if you need to find a document, check quip, box, drop box, google drive. Diversity: I know a lot of work has been done but would be great to have more women, PoC and different nationalities. Onboarding: a lot of remote onboarding has been watching a lot of videos that sometimes are over 2 hours long. Would be great to have more live virtual training.

Pros

Free food. Pay is good. Friendly people (faked sometimes but not backstabbing in my experience) Free gadgets from vending machines No real owners on code so in theory you can make changes to any team's codebase (it can backfire, though)

Cons

Up or out culture: if you don't get promoted to certain level in a set time, you're just fired. Poor work-life balance due to the up or out culture. If more seniors in your team are workaholics, you are compared against them harshly. Oncall infra can be nightmare inducing. Again, you must really love your what you do and your team if you want to be happy here. It's difficult to move to another team if you get a Meets Most rating in a half. HR won't help you since it's a hard rule (I think it was updated to 2 halves recently).

Pros

Good salary, great benefits, good brand to have in your resume

Cons

Toxic culture. Poorly designed performance reviews that lead to a competitive environment and people working towards getting a better assessment, not building better products.
