Pros
Perks are great. Building is beautiful. Slack, as a product, is useful.
Cons
Data org has no strategy or vision. Most engineering managers don't care about their team members. The very few who do aren't supported by the senior leadership. No focus on engineering quality and the happiness of the engineers. VPs and directors overpromise to the execs. They get upset when their unreasonable demands aren't met. Horrendous amount of cross department politics. Constant on-call issues and pages. Small teams supporting large number of projects and constantly struggling to keep up. No appreciation or recognition of th good work. CTO belittles the data org when things go wrong. He seems unhappy with the team, but does nothing to understand and correct any issues. I can keep going but hopefully you got the idea!
