Pros

Alright pay, benefits and worktimes

Cons

Directionless ship, the entire company seems to be run by middle managers who don't know what they're doing - leading to separate divisions doing contradictory things. UI is designed in powerpoint, the codebase is ancient and nobody understands it, useless features get requested and bugs never get fixed

Pros

Work life balance Talented people around You can push yourself, if you need more challenges Matured processes, tried and tested 401 match, ESPP, Health plan Ability to switch teams and products after appearing for their interviews internally.

Cons

Senior leadership/PM tend to take too much control. Dev should be independent enough. Don't rush features. Poor planning and forecast in teams. Compensation can be more competitive. Promotions and growth is dependent on how good you can project yourself.
