Pros

- Great colleagues - Very good orientation period - An innovative company - Interesting culture to be in - Competitive Salary - Very international, pay attention to different cultures

Cons

- Usage of time. Have to be fast learner and good with prioritization or you'll have a very long days - A very large set of different places where to get trainings/information. Not a one central place but several. - Some mandatory trainings might not fit too well to your local time zone - With this experience nothing else comes to my mind

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
