      Pros

      You could be fortunate and come across some really sharp, knowledgeable people from time to time.

      Cons

      Managers seem to care mainly about numbers, not people. Not everyone is treated the same; some staff members are favored, even when they perform poorly. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) is preached but not always practiced. In general, the majority of staff (at least from my experience in Enterprise Support) seems to be highly overworked and stressed a lot of the time.

      Pros

      Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

      Cons

      Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

      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.
