      Pros

      - Easier FAANG to get into, leading to great career opportunities. - Total Comp is competitive - My particular team was great and supportive

      Cons

      - My Org has to PIP 10% of its worst performing SDEs every year regardless of their actual performance which is why I left. - Workplace benefits are scarce. You pay to park, pay for food/snacks, happy hours/events are rare: I've heard and experienced anywhere from 0-4 per year. - 401k contribution is industry-low.

      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.
