Pros

Compensation is alright, but even that is on a downhill trajectory

Cons

Where to begin. Tech is outdated, and they’re now playing catch up through acquisitions. Senior management is completely tone deaf. It’s all about singing the same song that nothing is wrong. All whilst the best employees are running for the hills. Churn is at an incredible high and new business is slowing down significantly. The real shift happened when Aneel stepped down and they brought in Carl. The guy’s only interest is short term stock growth to hit hit bonus targets. Not thinking about the long term success of the company and he’s ready to sacrifice the whole company and the customer base to get his big pay out.

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
