Pros

Culture-wise, for the first two years I really loved this company — because it inspired people, had a good culture, good people to talk to, always encouraged communication, collaboration, and personal growth. If you’re a full-time employee, the benefits are great and the pay is good. If you’re a contractor, the pay is okay but there are no other benefits

Cons

This year I really don’t know why I’m still here. Many times, even when I talk to my manager, I might get zero response. Of course, when I talk to other people about work, same problem also. After the re-org, I slowly don’t understand what is my value in this org anymore. Even though I got very clear scope, does anyone actually care what I contribute to the company? If nobody cares, then what’s the point of my existence here? I keep needing to prove my value again and again, instead of just showing it. Honestly, if you look closely, the company is very wired. It’s more friendly towards people in AMER. But if you are outside of US, you can never really join the relevant meetings (unless you sacrifice your whole night’s sleep). And many times, you don’t even get any answer at all. I’m so sad for myself.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
