      Pros

      Some theoretically interesting problems to solve and did I mention AI!

      Cons

      Senior leaders are hell bent on getting AI projects delivered, lack of any vision (priorities shifting monthly), and demonstrate a total lack of empathy for anyone below their pay grade. Glut of middle managers that don’t provide customer value, but an unending stream of documents. Senior engineers that literally don’t write any code, but “influence” other teams to deliver customer value. The gears of this sausage factory are kept lubricated by a steady supply of entry level SDEs with that lack technical proficiency to deliver anything of quality.

      Pros

      Easy work for good pay. Lots of career advancement opportunity. Very luxurious compared to other warehouses and very forgiving.

      Cons

      Not a lot of bathrooms and when you're being time tracked for productivity it can be very difficult to find a time to comfortably go.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
