Pros

Powerful platform, high-growth, enthusiastic customers, RSU grants make the compensation very attractive (this is literally the reason why they are able to retain most employees)

Cons

Advancement and recognition is not based on performance, but rather on arbitrary popularity contests and political dynamics. Marketing leadership is near the worst I've seen. The CMO is insecure in his own abilities, and therefore leads through bullying and fear tactics. The other C-suite members largely disregard Marketing's input, due to a lack of confidence in leadership. Most of the power now sits with the Chief Communications Officer. The CMO's record of hiring into his org is poor, with multiple failed hires. These are all known issues, and the C-suite and HR have either been unable or unwilling to address them, leading to a negative work environment for many in the Marketing organization.

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
