Pros

The chance to work with smart, passionate people who want to do the right thing for the community of users; good ideas are heard and implemented. There are opportunities to make a difference and push the envelope on innovation given the right managment support.

Cons

The pace is non-stop and expectations about what can be acheived are often unrealistic. Lots of firedrills; always going from one thing to the next. Not a lot of time spent learning or on reflection. Burnout is a big factor. You have to set your own boundaries.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
