Pros

Good Salary, good immediate peer colleagues

Cons

Your sold a dream but leadership are clueless at crafting a successful team. They promote insecurity, favouritism and politics. They are inefficient and wasting company money building egos over an efficient SOC! At the mere mention of mental health concerns caused by the bullying, undermining, humiliating and intimidating behaviour of management you’ll be terminated without even a ‘how are you’! The money is fantastic but nothing can pay for your mental health which was impacted on purpose by the management, pretty much a whole team was targeted

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
