Pros

You can work remotely still.

Cons

Upper management delivers a new speech every week on how we need to move faster and deliver more. Poor WLB, constantly increasing workload and expectations, decreasing salaries. There is a constant push to ship more and faster and use AI. Your performance is measured based on the number of PRs and AI usage. The stocks have lost half their value since last year, and most people didn't get any stocks this year despite meeting expectations and delivering more. Salary adjustments were below the market inflation rate (below 2% in many cases). In a nutshell, most people earn about 30-40% less than they did last year, despite growing in their role, delivering more and working against higher expectations.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
