Pros

Generally the pay is good. Office has decent perks

Cons

No real culture Product is somewhat stale and growth is slowing A lot of "yes" men/women in leadership positions No Diversity focus at all. CEO continuely makes huge mistakes and doesn't own up to them. Most of his company speaks hinges on "historical context" of when he was a engineer (if I hear about how he was right for not building a "Flash" version I am going to lose it) CEO and a lot of leadership are super involved in technical decisions and most often are wrong about them. Challenging management will get you pushed out. No trust. Even the smallest conference or expense needs to be approved and scrutinized by your VP. RTO killed all trust.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
