Pros

- Office is good, especially since the move to the new location (everyone has standing desk, and quality chair). - Benefits are good and improving (good coverage, and weekly appointments for in-office chair massage). - Lots of very smart, and very experienced people to work with and learn from.

Cons

- Embarrassingly underpayed, no transparency, excessive evaluation criteria which doesn't seem to mean anything anyway. - No career development. Very little oversight for more junior members, and nobody remaining who is actively engaging others. - Extremely impersonal. You don't matter. (Unless you are to be blamed for something.) Don't expect management to know what you do, or how you contribute. Your opinion does not matter, even if you are an expert in your domain. - Too much focus on building systems (which could be abandoned at any moment), and not shipping a product.
