Pros

The pay and the benefits are nice. There's a pretty decent work-life balance (but can be bad, depending on the team). There are some genuinely smart people working there. There's a solid mission that I believe a few people actually believe in.

Cons

Some ancient technologies and processes (SVN, JSPs, bad tooling, etc.). Getting code reviewed and deployed is a painful process. The tooling hinders more than it helps. Trying to become an "engineering culture" place, but isn't a technology company. This seems to be driven from management as opposed to from the ground-up, in an attempt to attract more Bay Area talent away from companies like Facebook and Google. Current turbulence as large restructuring in departments occurs and the stock price has fallen over 50%, causing a pivot in business plans.

Pros

Compensation was strong and competitive. The people were genuinely good to work with, and on paper the mission is one you can get behind. Solid brand and a smart, capable workforce.

Cons

Leadership often felt political and opaque. Success was difficult to define clearly, and it frequently seemed like the business quietly picked winners and losers rather than rewarding performance on transparent terms.
