Pros
Good pay, good benefits, food in-office
Cons
Really depends on your team/management, especially work-life balance. In general: expectations very high, hard to get promotions, nobody likes upper management, volatile stock, RTO requirements continue to constrict, seems like there's no communication between teams, constantly switching priorities, upper management will drop anything at the whim of the CEO. People frequently working after-hours or on weekends even when they're not on-call, especially for app-facing teams (internal teams less so). CEO likes to walk around office early morning or late afternoon wondering why nobody is in, once said "this isn't a 9-5", subsequently breakfast & dinner hours were pushed outward to encourage employees to come in earlier and stay later. Frequent reorganization = shuffled between managers regularly. LA-specific: in-office commute zone is 50 miles, which for LA means many people were driving 2+ hours one-way or staying well after work hours/dinner to avoid rush hour. Diversity is ok when just walking around campus and seeing who is there but recently (2024) the company went through a settlement regarding discrimination and harassment against women. Not many managers/senior managers/above are women. Not many senior engineers are women. Diversity programs (engineering) getting funding cuts/decreasing in size since 2022
