      Pros

      * Interesting problems * Dynamic work environment * Reasonably well funded (e.g., good amount of compute available) * Competitive salaries

      Cons

      * Abysmal C-suite team, which uses RTO as means to avoid layoff. Now that more innovation is needed, we will waste time on commute. Then, we will come to the office to do video-conferencing anyways, b/c most teams are distributed! * Unreasonable deadlines (for some teams, not universally true across the org) * Toxic culture & office politics partly caused by stack ranking and fear of being put on PIP (performance improvement plans)

      Pros

      Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

      Cons

      Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

      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
