Pros

- Despite things getting worse, there's still decent work-life balance. - I haven't seen any BS metrics to determine one's impact like lines of written code or AI usage. - Good health insurance. - Feels less cutthroat than what I've heard about Meta or Amazon.

Cons

- The workload and amount of stress has been gradually increasing for the past few years with the pay stagnating and campus amenities deteriorating (more expensive food). - ,WFO push, can't work fully remote without an exception. - Gradually everyone is moved to an open space.

Pros

benefits, work life balance, unlimited PTO

Cons

low pay compared to other FAANGS, never ending layoffs that create an anxious culture, many projects only put in motion to get someone in leadership promoted.
