Pros

Cool projects to work on. Generally people are very talented and teams are inclusive. You can easily reach out to other teams and get help.

Cons

Very hard to grow career, raise level and get advance in pay and stock. Can literally take decades. Working hard and being a top contributor usually result in 3% salary increase and a stock grant at 20% of salary (vested over 4 years). Makes you feel it is really not worth it.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
