Pros

Fast paced with challenging problems and smart people all around.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lot of bureaucracy and the management levels don't have a clear vision for the product. They try to help, but somehow they themselves are too burnt out for spinning their wheels and spinning yours. This may be changing soon hopefully.

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
