Pros

Awesome benefits, like stocks, travel allowance, learning budget, bonuses Friendly working environment, has freedom of choice in tech, note that this is entirely dependent on which team you will work with, I might also have been lucky to work with a good one.

Cons

Nothing in particular, I had a problem with the work load, it was kind of seasonal, one time you work for 12-14 hours and other days, you Have absolutely nothing to do.

Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
