Pros

- interesting work, plenty of opportunities to learn and grow - access to cutting-edge AI tools - opportunity to work with very highly skilled and talented people

Cons

- the company culture has shifted over the past few years, and not in a positive direction - toxic culture in some teams, with many people only interested in furthering their own careers rather than growing and being successful as a team - company glorifies "rockstar" developers with no people/teamwork skills - constant changes often disrupt productive flows - work/life balance is often ignored; many teams don't accommodate people based in different timezones and expect them to work late hours

Pros

Good engineering processes and nice opportunity to work with (mostly) great and talented coworkers.

Cons

Pay is just OK for the amount of work. Senior Leadership could be better. Culture has degraded over the years.
