Pros

There are some amazing people you'll get the opportunity to work with. You will learn A LOT on your own so you can bring these experiences and leadership skills to another company that will treat you like a human being. Other than that, no other perks.

Cons

-Poor management, plus micro-management (Managers will check up on your every work and surveillance you throughout the week even though they have no experiences as managers. Reviews are based on personal favorites and attitudes). -Overworked (be prepared for overtime, nightly meetings plus hours of driving depending on where you live. Even on vacations, it is nonstop work calls and no work boundaries.) -No growth (even if you have proven to excel in all work and have worn many hats, there are no rewards or recognition by your manager except constant verbal abuse, such as "not working hard enough or can do better or I can't trust you." A lot of belittling and bringing you down). -No voice (you can ask for better treatment and better work environment, but no one is there to help change it. Even when the manager bullies you, HR does nothing to help). -Salary (given manager role responsibilities but get paid like a person with no work experience). -No perks (They bar you from making connections or attend events, unless you are a favorite with the upper management. Working in marketing, making connections is a must).

Pros

The company has some talented engineers and interesting technical problems. There are opportunities to work on large-scale systems, cross-region collaboration, and fast-moving business projects. Some coworkers were helpful and hardworking.

Cons

In my experience, senior management created a stressful and inconsistent environment. Expectations often changed without clear written criteria, and performance feedback could feel subjective rather than based on objective engineering standards. Some decisions appeared top-down and difficult to challenge, even when technical concerns or delivery risks were raised. I also felt that communication from leadership was not transparent enough, especially around performance expectations, project priorities, compensation decisions, and reorganization decisions. This made it hard for employees to understand how success was being measured or how decisions were made. Work-life balance was also a concern, especially when supporting teams across time zones. Employees could be expected to handle urgent work outside normal hours, while still being judged under office-based expectations. In my experience, employees did not feel safe raising concerns. After I raised concerns to HR/management, I experienced negative employment consequences soon afterward.
