Pros

stock price, although RSUs are just there to handcuff you

Cons

The approach is "we give them stock, they are our slaves". Toxic environment. "if we make them all work 60 hours a week, it will justify their RSUs". Do the homework on leadership... if your potential manager has a BA degree in fine arts, was hired by a buddy and technical depth is "learn javascript in 24 hours" ... approach with severe caution. Customers are incredibly unhappy with the product but "locked in"

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
