Pros

Good quality work is easy to find since you can switch teams. Pay is also fairly good for the skills needed to crack the interview.

Cons

Toxic culture. Incompetent managers - they're given a lot of powers and they love to abuse it. Nobody trusts anyone. PIP system breeds backstabbing culture. Middle management is incredibly incompetent. Some old fart engineers who got promoted years back are keeping the lights on.

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.
