      Pros

      Great people, manageable workload. Lots of different spaces you can pivot into by switching teams High coding standards The spheres are actually a very nice workspace if you're in Seattle

      Cons

      Oncall load can be quite inconvenient depending on team size Perks aren't at the same tier as other big tech companies. No free food, cafeterias they have are overpriced garbage. Your experience depends entirely on your team. A bad manager will make you miserable. Management forcing AI where it doesn't need to be. Management prioritization causing easily forseeable issues New CEO pivoting away from 'Day 1' mentality Employees starting to be treated worse and worse

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
