Pros

If you compare it to the market overall i is good (but not great) company to work for BUT not if you're not coming from company like Meta or Google (I worked for both) which offer far better benefits and salary, even nowadays after all the cuts... Company has very strong market position (but it's not reflected in pay or beneifts)

Cons

Benefits are subpar, Budget cuts everywhere, hard to get budget for anything, even though company is printing money Getting promoted is v hard as there are few spots and way to many ppl competing for one spot

Pros

Pay is decent; Work-life balance is quite good; (depends on the team) Interesting products.

Cons

A significant portion of DS managers do not have any management/ leadership training. They are suddenly thrown in to the driving seat to grow a highperforming team, and with no interest in properly nurturing a team, the whole culture crashes. DS managers waste time in meetings and showcase ideas, as their own; without involving direct reports who actually do the work independently working with internal customers. DS managers become risk averse and interested in only following the HIPPOs; rather than challenging inefficient leadership directions. They need to push back.
